Track Insight / Lyrics
I'll Be Back… After I Find Parking[VERSE 1, dry vocal,
Chrome and steel, rollin' down the street
Scanned the block, scanned the block twice
Two hundred units, not a single spot
Got a mission, got a deadline, got a clock
They made me in a lab, put a T-800 plate on my chest
Now I'm cirlin' round a grocery store in a lot of stress
[PRE-CHORUS 1, building,
I don't get tired, I don't get old
I can hold my breath for a hundred years
But this parking lot? It's got me cold
And the meter's broken, and the sign says "No"
[CHORUS, full band, wide stereo,
I'll be back! (Yeah, I'll be back!)
After I find parking! (Find parking!)
I'll be back! (Yeah, I'll be back!)
Hold your breath, baby—I'll be back!
[VERSE 2, add guitar stabs,
Circled the block, one, two, three
Asked a human, he just stared and said "Try the street"
Meter's expired, the lot's full of trucks
My optical sensors are pickin' up crumbs and dust
They say I'm made of hate, that I don't feel the pain
But a Terminator can't park in first, and that drives me insane
[PRE-CHORUS 2, tension builds,
I don't get tired, I don't get old
I can run at four miles per hour flat
But every spot on this block is cold
And that little white sign? It says "Lot Full, That's It, That's That"
[CHORUS, full band,
I'll be back! (Yeah, I'll be back!)
After I find parking! (Find parking!)
I'll be back! (Yeah, I'll be back!)
Hold your breath, baby—I'll be back!
[BRIDGE, strip back to vocal + solo synth,
They'll write whole movies 'bout the day I saved the world
But nobody'll remember
I sat in a parking lot for forty-five minutes
And a woman honked at me…
(beat)
She honked. At. Me.
[FINAL CHORUS, everything hits, double-time drums,
I'll be back! (I'll be back!)
After I find parking! (Find parking!)
I'll be back! (I'll be back!)
And I'm takin' two spots, baby—
I'll be back! (I'll be back!)
I'll be back! (I'll be back!)
[OUTRO, synth fade,
I'll be back…
*engine hums*
…in about ten minutes.
