I'm Waiting for the Man Lyrics - David Bowie

1 I'm waiting for the man

2 Twenty-six dollars in my hand

3 Up to Lexington 1-2-5

4 So sick and dirty, more dead than alive

5 I'm waiting for the man

6 Hey white boy, what you doin' in town

7 Hey white boy, chasin' all the women around

8 Oh pardon me, sir, it's the last thing on my mind

9 I'm just looking for a good friend of mine

10 I'm waiting for the man

11 Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

12 Real shoes and a big straw hat

13 He's never early, he's always late

14 First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

15 I'm waiting for the man

16 Big dirty building, up three flights of stairs

17 Nobody stops you 'cause nobody cares

18 He's got the works, gives you sweet taste

19 Then you gotta split because he's got no time to waste

20 I'm waiting for the man

21 Baby, don't you holler, darlin', don't you bawl and shout

22 I'm feeling good, I'm gonna work it on out

23 I'm feeling good, I'm feeling so fine

24 Until tomorrow but that's just another time

25 I'm waiting for the man

26 I'm waiting for the man

27 Twenty-six dollars in my hand

28 Up to Lexington 1-2-5

29 So sick and dirty, more dead than alive

30 I'm waiting for the man

31 Waiting for the man

32 To welcome me home
