Wait

I don't like to wait.

Hurry up with that,

Hand it over;

If I get bored,

I might torch this dump

Because

I don't like to wait.



They say the earth is shifting on its axis.

I think I'll get down on all fours,

And shimmy baby.

I could just go about my life

And bide my time til the planet cracks,

But I already told you,

I don't like to wait.



It's been ten minutes

Since I last scratched an itch.

If it ever goes eleven,

I'll turn into such a...

Itch

Itch

Itch

Itch



One day I will rot quietly

In my scooter chair

In the hallway.

One day my heart will give it up.

One day I'll find that big love,

But it will only be God;

Then I'll be safe,

Then I'll be straight,

But til then I'm gonna bang the gong

And keep burning on

Because, it's like I told you,

I can't stand the wait.
