lyrics

If I gotta wait, for the next time around
living in the lobby with a book I found
Elevator numbers go up and down
Doors open
I'm always hopin'
If I gotta wait, til hell runs cold
Finger in my ear just like my teachers told
Wrinkled in the bathtub, it's gettin old

Never had it, never had it, never had it, never had it
Patience
Gimme what I want, when I want it
Fuck patience
Tellin' me to slow this freight train down
How'm I gonna, How'm I gonna get around?

If I gotta wait, just one more day
Tunnel and a teaspoon to chip away
Double shot of dynamite is what I say

Never had it, never had it, never had it, never had it
Patience
Gimme what I want, when I want it
Fuck patience
Tellin' me to be that guru man
When you know I never can
No I never can

Life's too good
to fit in every minute of the day
There's no time
to wait around for somebody to say
Stand in line
Tellin' me to mellow with the elevator music

Never had it, never had it, never had it, never had it
Patience
Never had it, never had it, never had it, never had it
Patience
Gimme what I want
and I want it
