I Can't Wait
Donny & Marie Osmond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the plague, I am the rot
I am the bitterness.
I am the war, I am the death,
I am the crucifix.
I am the sacrifice at the end,
I am the fall of man.
I am apocalypse, I'm the debt list,
I'm your last breathe.
I am sin.
I am dancin'.

{chorus}
I can't wait until it's over.
All done and gone.
I can't wait to lose it all, fuck it all.
Fuck you all. There's nothing left anyway.
They say that dead men don't pull triggers,

Well prove 'em wrong.

I am catastraphe, I'm conflict,
I am warfare.
I am fatality, I am the wound that's in your head.
I am the dark, I am the fear,
I am the orphan lamb.
I am anxiety, I am the grave,
I am nothingness.
I am hate. I am lost faith.
{chorus}




I'M EMPTY!
{chorus}

I was just thinking about this skit over this past weekend. I'm glad that you posted this in honor of Betty White. She was naturally sweet and sassy in this and anytime she was on TV.
