Out in the cold like a bundle of coal

Little packets of darkness wanting to glow



Well there's nobody home and there's a wreck in the yard

Well maybe they're coming back

If we wish really hard

If we wish real hard now



Won't somebody please come up with something

'cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working

And all of the rest are really down in the ratings

So everyone is gonna keep on waiting



Waiting for peace at the end of the street

Back behind our apartment and in passenger seats

Just a moment of bliss amid all of the waste

The despair and oblivion of our precarious race

It's ours to face now



Won't somebody please come up with something

'cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working

And all of the rest are really down in the ratings

So everyone is gonna keep on waiting



Now I know nothing lasts forever

So we might as well wish for a goddam fix of this toxic changing weather



Now tell me won't somebody come up with something

'cuz Jesus just don't seem to be impartially working

And all of the others can barely stay in the running

But everyone is still right here waiting



Won't somebody please come up with something

Won't somebody please come up with something

Won't somebody please
