[Pilot over PA]

"Folks I know you're all dying to know how long--

I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to remain as technicians come over

and take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give you an estimate

I'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so."



[Verse 1]

It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my chest

I've used cigarette butts and loose leaves to build my nest--build my nest

Did I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess not

But I'm not really convinced when you say that you're impressed--hell no

The line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little thinner

Now it's nothing but ruffage for lunch and punchlines for dinner--feed me

I've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshine

Wound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time



[Chorus]

The key broke off in the ignition humping if I wandered off through my thoughts wishing

Hoping this could be for you but it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see [X2]



It's the sure shot [X6]



[Verse 2]

See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it ripple--ripple

But I feel I'm only being civil--civil

When I sit back and giggle like the rest it's the ritalin-a-fest!

I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never guess

That I'm closing in upon the dredge

Why? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess from who?

It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll do

Still trying to reach the kid in you

So I may continue to find why this childproof's so wild

I smile--smile, tired, I walk
