TRACKREC:

On this very track you hear Truus waiting for a lucky man. The guy who meets her will be lucky as he gets to know Truus! Simple as that. But that guy can’t show that he has a burning heart. In my personal opinion the guy is called Nasmak and all this is taking place after Truus left the band for New York early 1981. The four men in the band became the new Nasmak. The song is built around a sample taken from the track “Plaster” (from the Nasmak album “Duel”). So we went back in time to create a very new song about Truus ‘joining’ the band again, in 2018. But all this is made-up coincidence.

waiting for a lucky man
in a crowded room i stand
waiting
no one knows my name
not a care from where i came
waiting
waiting for a lucky man (repeat 1x)

(ting ting)
inside this chaos there is a paradise
now it’s just smoke stinging my eyes
waiting (ting)
i’ve seen it all before
still i crave it even more
