Waiting To Die Lyrics
It's just a day like any other day
A beautiful day for an accident, let's say
Yes, it's just a day like any other day
Just one step closer to the end of the buffet
La la la la la la
La la la la
'Cause we're waiting to die
Now it's a good time for a tasty glass of wine
Let's not burden our minds with carbon dioxide
And everyone hurry, don't sit and abide
Yes, everyone stand up, we're running out of time
La la la la la la
La la la la
'Cause we're waiting here to die
Look what a terrible mess that we've made
The sun beats us down as we search for the shade
And, yes, it is true, death is everyone's fate
But we've made it this far, it's time to celebrate
La la la la la
La la la la
'Cause we're waiting here to die
A beautiful day for an accident, let's say
Yes, it's just a day like any other day
Just one step closer to the end of the buffet
La la la la
'Cause we're waiting to die
Let's not burden our minds with carbon dioxide
And everyone hurry, don't sit and abide
Yes, everyone stand up, we're running out of time
La la la la
'Cause we're waiting here to die
The sun beats us down as we search for the shade
And, yes, it is true, death is everyone's fate
But we've made it this far, it's time to celebrate
La la la la
'Cause we're waiting here to die

One of my favourites off this rather odd album, sia's vocals are infallable as usual... the song seems to be either mocking the global warming situation or at least embracing it, with a defeatist attitude sown next to happy go lucky "la la la la la la" melodies.
Maybe its not pessimism but freedom that drives this song, acknowledgement of one's own mortality and making the most of the time you have.
This is my favourite song on The Garden, it captures my feeilngs perfectly. It's like, why take life so seriously? Enjoy it, laugh at it and with it. Even the bad things are only taking you one step closer to the end of the buffet :)
This is one of the best songs ever...I believe it's about how screwed up the world is and how everyone dies at some point...this is also about not taking life seriously and just almost go with the flow...
I heard this song on The OC and I love it!!
A really great song. Special lyrics, indeed...
