Waving hello
To the strangers you know
Standing outside your door
Trying hard to ignore
Hello stranger won't you wave back to me
Verse 1:
The hardware store gnome
Keeps his eyes on his wife
He always looks so confused
Every time i drop by
He sees her alone making small talk with me
I only stopped in her store
To get my cup of coffee
And when I wave hello
He flips the bird right back at me
Verse 2:
The Florist next door
Takes a walk to Fu Hing
He orders Moo Goo Gai Pan
And some Chicken Chow Mein
He stands on his own
Waiting so patiently
And when his order arrives
They add a soda for free
Now you can tell he's happy
With your own Visibility
Bridge:
Look around and you shall see
So much more than you and me
Chorus:
Waving hello
To the strangers you know
Standing outside your door
Trying hard to ignore
Hello stranger won't you wave back to me
Middle 8:
Holding on to your dreams
The more you give
The less you'll believe
And just when you begin to feel (it)
They'll tell you it's your time to leave
Ugglan
Verse 3:
The elephant man
With his tusk in a flask
Rides his tricycle down
To the diner uptown
He sits on a stool
The eggs are over easy
Transistor radio on
All's good for Crazy Eddie
And you can tell he's happy from the sound of his obscenities
Waving hello
To the strangers you know
Standing outside your door
Trying hard to ignore
Hello stranger won't you wave back to me
