Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting target
Sitting waiting
Anticipating
Nothing, nothing
[Verse 2]
Life is full of surprises
It advertises
Nothing, nothing
[Verse 3]
What am I trying to do?
What am I trying to say?
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know when you woke up today
[Verse 4]
Sitting target
Sitting praying
God is saying
Nothing, nothing
[Verse 5]
Always knows the prospects
Learnt to expect
Nothing, nothing
[Verse 6]
What am I trying to do?
What am I trying to say?
I'm not trying to tell you anything
You didn't know when you woke up today
[Verse 7]
Nothing (Nothing, nothing)
Nothing (Nothing, nothing)
[Verse 8]
Nothing, oh, no
Nothing, oh, no
Nothing, oh, no
Nothing, oh, no...
