"The Longest Line" lyrics

I've spent half of my life in this godawful place
And I dare say I've only grown older
I've had all I can take of patience and kindness
I can't wait in this line any longer
But this is the way that I am

So if you choose me, please abuse me
Never mind the mileage
There's no harming me intrinsically
And every sign of wear and tear
Is lost in autumn foliage
Well, aren't you impressed

Well, now I'm stating endless waiting
Is my favorite pastime
There's nothing new for me to do
And so I have to wonder
Will there ever be a last time?
'Cause I need a rest

Standing in the longest line
Waiting for my turn
I wonder if my turn will ever come

Chronic starter, perfect martyr
Never need a reason
I guess that I could hibernate
Or move away to a warmer place
Or wait for a change of season
When will my sun shine?

Standing in the longest line
Waiting for my turn
I wonder if my turn will ever come

Now please don't show me springtime flowers
It'd be more than I could take
After living through the clouds and showers
Well, I can hardly wait

Standing in the longest line
Waiting for my turn
I wonder if my turn will ever come

If you've spent half of your life in this godawful place
You will swear that you've only grown older
If you treat everyone you know with patience and kindness
You will not know yourself for much longer
Well, this is what I have become

Standing in my line
Longest line
Longest line (standing in my line)
Longest line
Longest line (standing in my line)
Longest line
Longest line (standing in my line)
Longest line...
