No kidding…this is based on a dream I had where I was waiting at a train station, waiting for LeBron “King” James to show up.
There is also some sprinkling of Thomas Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” in here as well.

Lyrics:
I woke up
In the middle of a dream
I was standing in front of a vending machine
I looked up
You were dressed in red
And I was waiting for something else instead
I waited at the gates, my bags were packed
I wasn’t late but you never came back
You walked over
I couldn’t speak
You asked what the hell happened to me
You sat down
At a table drenched in white
I stood there and stared into the light
I waited at the gates, my bags were packed
I wasn’t late but you never came back
Waiting on a king
Not sure he gonna show
Waiting on a king
Ain’t got no where to go
Hazen James
