lyrics

There's a ferris wheel inside the mall
There's a bomb in a briefcase in a bathroom stall
There's an old lady circling the lot
She knows where she is but not where's she's not

I have been very patient
I have been watching for weeks
I have been very patient
I have been parcel post on your doorstep
I have the blueprint

There's a beam loose under the floor
It's how the boys will topple the retaining wall

I have been very patient
I have been watching for weeks
I have been very hopeful
I have been parcel post on your doorstep
I have the blueprint

I don't wanna take the L Train to Brookyln
I don't wanna cross the Tappan Zee
I don't wanna eat no more of your cooking
If you ain't around to help me finish
I don't wanna waste no more time in orbit
I don't wanna miss her birthday again
Everyone around me is getting old
And I ain't around to see it happen

We're not gonna make it here

There's a hole in the roof that I found
There's a K-9 Unit sniffing around it

I have been very patient
I have been watching for weeks
I have been very hopeful
I have been parcel post on your doorstep
We have the blueprint
