Matthew Good - Waiting For The Great Destruction

Demo: Left of Normal, 1993

Waiting for the lights to change
The raindrops skip the wiper blades
The buildings fall, the sky and fades
And it carries me down

If you gave me the chance to be sincere
Do you think they'd let me out of here?
Got to to walk out into traffic
If I promise not to make a sound
And the look up on your face
Would be chiselled there forever
As the glass came through the windshield
And the car lifted from the ground

Maybe at my funeral
They'll say I found the answer
They'll say I had it coming
They'll say I was just sitting around

Waiting for the great destruction
I am waiting for Holden Caulfield to call
Waiting for the great destruction
I am waiting for the sky
The sky to open up
And make me feel small
Like a bird in bad weather
These engines before the stall
And time enough
To watch the free world fall
Under the black and blue handle glove
It won't take us all

Waiting for the lights to change
The lies they learn to rearrange
The truth they hold to exchange
And it carries me down
Second hand to the greater fear
These words of promise disappear
So I wrote them down to make it clear
That nothing was what I found

And if it was really all that easy
Don't you think I'd have given up by now?
And if the questions had an answer
They wouldn't be believable out loud
And you know that I would tell you
Even if it sounded like a lie
Funny thing about the truth is that
No one wonders to wonder why

And I will leave the car door open
As a symbol of my freedom
Like the riddles of a dead man
The living always need them
And in the end they'll say I'm crazy
'Cause I never gave a reason
He always talked about tomorrow
As if he were always leaving

And I am waiting for the great destruction
I am waiting for Holden Caulfield to call
Waiting for the great destruction
I am waiting for the sky
The sky to fall
Waiting for the sky
Waiting for the sky
Waiting for the sky

dam skipping ?!

[MatthewGoodRox]

@adddywalters Where does it skip? Since I've uploaded these videos, I've gotten new copies of all of the history teacher demos songs which don't skip. If you pinpoint the skipping times on my videos I can check my newer copies and see if they are better. Sorry about that, I am just too lazy to replace all of them lol

[MatthewGoodRox]

@MatthewGoodRox o 0.13 seconds is one, that didn't take long haha

[jentrevors]

@MatthewGoodRox Skips right at the first!!

[MatthewGoodRox]

@jentrevors haha I realized that after I posted and then I felt like an idiot.....I get that feeling a lot lol

[Adrenailine]

Well, at least no impressionable youth got inspired by this trash and did something crazy like tattoo the complete lyrics on their body....that would just be sad. Because this song sucks.

[MatthewGoodRox]

@Adrenailine Thanks for your opinion!

[InvaderChrissy]

This man has NEVER made a bad song

[eboshi122]

I love the tempos of his older stuff.Seems like he has too much to say and not enough music to say it in.

@jeffreyms the sg girl that youre talking about is the reason i looked it up too. haha, chanel is her name.

[adddywalters]

@MatthewGoodRox Not a problem brother, I very much appreciate the upload still.

[jonathonmillett]

@Magerlicious oh sorry u probably prefer all the cookie cutter shit that is all exactly the same...

[Magerlicious]

its good lyrics and decent guitar but i just hate all the vibrato he puts in his voice

[jeffreyms]

I found this song because of the chick with the lyrics tattooed on her leg, as well. She also has tats of Gir and Zim on either forearm.

Now THAT is dedication to a song and to a cartoon...
