Pixies – Here Comes Your Man Lyrics 19 years ago
I think the first guy (or girl) got it right, nice one onafriday.

Anticipation.

Hobos waiting outside a boxcar, waiting for it to leave and take them away to a new place. The moments of stillness when you're waiting for an earthquake to happen. "There is a wait so long" sums it up really.

The chorus is the reconciliation of the anticipation, ie "here's what you've been waiting for" and is probably a nod to the velvet underground.
