Waiting Lyrics by The Band's Visit Original Broadway Company

PAPI:
Waiting. What's new here?
You're waiting, I'm waiting
'Cause that's what we do here
Same as we do every day
For something, I don't know, to happen
No, just something different to happen
Just waiting for something to change
Just a change

...:
Sometimes it feels like we're moving in a circle
Around and around with the same scenery going by
But no one's complaining
We're experts at waiting

ENSEMBLE:
Oh...
Ah...

IZIK:
Time's like a river sometimes
Time's like an ocean
The sofa is my boat
And I'm just drifting right along

IZIK (IRIS):
Time is like syrup (Just waiting for something)
And I'm the bug stuck (To happen for)
In the syrup (Anything to happen)
Just trying to find out  (Waiting to find out)
What I'm doing wrong (What I'm doing wrong)

ENSEMBLE:
Ah...
Ah...

DINA:
You know what I think
There's two kinds of waiting
There's the kind where you're expecting something new
Or even strange
But this kind of waiting, you keep looking off out into the distance
Even though you know the view is never going to change
You wait....

ENSEMBLE:
Waiting, for something
For anything to happen
Just waiting for anything to
Wait...
