[Verse 1] Cheap neon flickering red Sand between my toes, heavy as lead I’m a mountain, quiet, skin like stone Waiting on this outpost, on my own The desert wind is starting to bite I’m the biggest thing in the sunset tonight. [Pre-Chorus] Thinking ‘bout the way we used to talk Maybe the clock down the road is wrong Maybe I’ve been standing here too long. [Chorus] UNDER THE CRACKED SIGN! SHE’S TOO GOOD! AND I’M OUT OF TIME! AM I A JOKE? JUST A BEAST IN THE DUST? SHE AIN’T COMING... AND I'LL TURN TO RUST! [Verse 2] A car rolls by, doesn't even slow Where did my confidence go? Don't I look brutal, don't I look mean? But I’m shaking inside, if you know what I mean She’s a swan, I’m just the flood She’s the flower, I’m just the mud. [Pre-Chorus] The motel door is a gaping mouth Everything’s headed straight for south Did she laugh when she said the date? Or does she just tease me by being late? [Chorus] STILL WAITING! UNDER THE CRACKED SIGN! SHE’S TOO GOOD! AND I’M OUT OF TIME! AM I A JOKE? JUST A BEAST IN THE DUST? SHE AIN’T COMING... AND I'LL TURN TO RUST! [Bridge] I’m big. I’m strong. I’m wrong. I’m. .. nothing. [Sudden scream] NOTHING! [Guitar Solo - Messy, abrasive] [Outro] Sand in my teeth. She’s not coming. Sand in my teeth. I'll just wait. I'll just... wait. [Feedback ends] [Silence, tension building up, then exhale] [spoken, quietly] You are late.
