WAITING FOR THE FALL

Whenever I get to thinking ‘bout the state I’m in It’s just like I’m getting cock-blocked by my Siamese twin I look in the mirror and I’m all like, “you again?” I’m so morally bankrupt it’s like I forgot my PIN

It’s like I lost the keys to my faculties Just when I thought “karate chop, and I can drop this tree” But instead of timber, if you know what I’m talking about Under my fingernail a tiny little sliver of doubt

I’m waiting for the fall I won’t return my calls I can’t just let this all come down to nothing I’ll only blame myself If all this goes to hell No matter what I do I lose in the end I’m only waiting for the fall

Once again, here we go, the all-too-familiar scenario Meet a girl you like, ride her like a bike, and then hit cruise control Things are hella smooth, like top-shelf vermouth You’re anticipating mating, yet you’re waiting for the drop of the shoe

I’m beside myself with anxiety I can’t fit through doorways ‘cause there’s two of me Even though I want to point the finger of blame When I pull the trigger, ain’t no bang Just a white flag with my name

I’m waiting for the fall I won’t return my calls I can’t just let this all come down to nothing I’ll only blame myself If all this goes to hell No matter what I do I lose in the end

Spy vs spy, and guess what? They’re both the bad guy… One wears a white hat, the other wears black Each wants to stick a knife in the other cat’s back There’s always a dame stuck in the middle Lookin’ like hot cakes, hot off the griddle Better step aside, sweet cheeks, I’m a-do battle with myself Flip of a coin, Russian Roulette, it’s a pretty safe bet I can chase all the tail I want, but it always comes up heads

I’m waiting for the fall I try to “be the ball” But all that I can see is nothing but net I know that you can see That’s it’s not me, it’s me Transparently, I’ve got my trap set again

Just waiting for the fall I won’t return my calls I can’t just let this all come down to nothing I’ll only blame myself If all this goes to hell No matter what I do I lose in the end I’m only waiting for the fall
