[Verse 1]
I am waiting, I am waiting
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I am waiting, I am waiting
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Refrain]
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

[Verse 2]
You can't hold out, you can't hold out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You can't hold out, you can't hold out
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Refrain]
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

[Chorus]
See it come along and don't know where it's from
Oh yes, you will find out
Well it happens all the time, it's censored from our minds
You'll find out

[Verse 3]
Slow or fast, slow or fast
Oh yeah, oh yeah
End at last, end at last
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Refrain]
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

[Chorus]
Stand up coming years and escalation fears
Oh yes we will find out
Well like a withered stone, fears will pierce your bones
You'll find out

[Verse 3]
Oh we're waiting, oh we're waiting
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh we're waiting-ting, oh we're waiting-ting
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Refrain]
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere
Waiting for someone to come out of somewhere

[Outro]
Oh we're waiting, oh we're waiting
Oh we're waiting, oh we're waiting

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
