Waiting for the lights to change The raindrops skip the wiper blades The buildings fall, the sky and fades And it carries me down
If you gave me the chance to be sincere Do you think they'd let me out of here? Got to to walk out into traffic If I promise not to make a sound And the look up on your face Would be chiselled there forever As the glass came through the windshield And the car lifted from the ground
Maybe at my funeral They'll say I found the answer They'll say I had it coming They'll say I was just sitting around
Waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for Holden Caulfield to call Waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for the sky The sky to open up And make me feel small Like a bird in bad weather These engines before the stall And time enough To watch the free world fall Under the black and blue handle glove It won't take us all
Waiting for the lights to change The lies they learn to rearrange The truth they hold to exchange And it carries me down Second hand to the greater fear These words of promise disappear So I wrote them down to make it clear That nothing was what I found
And if it was really all that easy Don't you think I'd have given up by now? And if the questions had an answer They wouldn't be believable out loud And you know that I would tell you Even if it sounded like a lie Funny thing about the truth is that No one wonders to wonder why
And I will leave the car door open As a symbol of my freedom Like the riddles of a dead man The living always need them And in the end they'll say I'm crazy 'Cause I never gave a reason He always talked about tomorrow As if he were always leaving
And I am waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for Holden Caulfield to call Waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for the sky The sky to fall Waiting for the sky Waiting for the sky Waiting for the sky
