Hold your breath and hold on tight
It could happen any night
Watch the seconds on the clock
Be the first one off your block

I know this year will bring
The next big thing

Put your plastic leather on
It can't really take too long
Count the signals, count the signs
Maybe do another line

I know this year will bring
The next big thing

They'll be sorry when you're dead
And they'll say they knew you when
Everyone will stand in line to see you

Hold your breath and hold on tight
Say your prayers and say goodnight
In the morning when you wake
You might get that lucky break

I know this year will bring the next big thing
And the phone will ring for the next big thing
Greet the brand new king the next big thing
