Makes no sense but I hope it's gonna last
Canada, Southwest, around the world
All night, I saw the writing on the wall
Saw it at the airport, it was on TV
It's right in front of your face, man
The words were oh, so clear
I saw the writing on the wall
L.A., Tokyo, sounds so sweet
Played like hell
All night, I saw the writing on the wall
It's right in front of your face, man
Lo and behold, heard it on the radio
It was a long time comin' but it sounds so sweet
The next big thing, I really gotta laugh
All right, I saw the writing on the wall
Everybody's goin' crazy, you're the last to know
The words were oh, so
It was a long time comin' but it sounds so sweet
All right, I saw the writing on the wall
Lo and behold, I heard it on the radio
Come on, man, get off my back
Come on, man, get off my back
All night, I saw the writing on the wall
I saw the writing on the wall
All right go, go
Maybe I'm naive, 'cause it's so plain to see
I saw the writing on the wall
Can't explain it, still a joke to me
Worked and slaved and played like hell
In the Midwest, in the East
Come on honey, get on your feet
All right, I saw the writing on the wall
Read it in a magazine, runnin' down the street
