Writing on the Wall lyrics

All right, I saw the writing on the wall

All night, I saw the writing on the wall

I saw the writing on the wall

Lo and behold, heard it on the radio

It was a long time comin', but it sounds so sweet

Come on, man, get off my back

All right, I saw the writing on the wall

All night, I saw the writing on the wall

In the Midwest and in the East,

Canada, Southwest, around the world

L.A., Tokyo, sounds so sweet

Come on, honey, get on your feet

All right, I saw the writing on the wall

All night, I saw the writing on the wall

I saw the writing on the wall

The words were oh-so...

The words were oh-so clear

All right, I saw the writing on the wall

All night, I saw the writing on the wall

Lo and behold, I heard it on the radio

It was a long time comin', but it sounds so sweet

Come on, man, get off my back

Saw it at the airport, it was on TV

Read it in a magazine runnin' down the street

Makes no sense, but I hope it's gonna last

The next big thing, I really gotta laugh

Worked and slaved and played like hell

Everybody's goin' crazy, you're the last to know

Can't explain it, still a joke to me

Maybe I'm naive 'cause it's so plain to see

It's right in front of your face, man

It's right in front of your face, man

Played like hell, whoo!

Played like hell, whoo!
