Track Insight / Lyrics
(spoken, monotone)
Come with me... if you want to park...
(synth swell)
I traveled back from 2029
To save the future, change the timeline
Nuclear war, machines that rise
But first I gotta circle... twice
Downtown streets, they're packed tonight
The meter maids, they're out to fight
I scanned the block, I scanned the lot
Red zone, no zone — every spot is shot
My mission's critical, I can't be late
But every space says "please don't wait"
I see a sign, my sensors glow
(spoken) "Target acquired"... no, that's a tow.
🎶 I'll be back… after I find parking
Save the world, but first I'm circling
Through the rain, through the dark
GPS can't find my heart
I'll be back… after I find parking
(robotic echo: "parking... parking...")
Sarah Connor's waiting on the phone
She said "The fate of man is on the throne"
I said "Relax, I'm on my way"
But Level 3 is full today
I drove through fire, I drove through steel
A hybrid's tailgating on my wheel
A minivan just took my spot
(spoken) "I need your clothes, your boots… and your parking lot."
The clock is ticking, Judgment Day is near
But I've been circling for half a year
A shopping cart, a broken cone
(spoken) "I am a cybernetic organism… and I'm alone."
🎶 I'll be back… after I find parking
Save the world, but first I'm circling
Through the rain, through the dark
GPS can't find my heart
I'll be back… after I find parking
I've crossed the seas of time for you
I've fought machines, I've seen what's true
But nothing breaks a metal heart
Like a full garage... with no cart...
(build up)
One more lap... one more turn...
One more lesson I must learn...
(whisper) "Come with me if you want to park."
🎶 I'LL BE BACK… AFTER I FIND PARKING!
SAVE THE WORLD, BUT FIRST I'M CIRCLING!
THROUGH THE RAIN, THROUGH THE DARK!
GPS CAN'T FIND MY HEART!
I'LL BE BACK… AFTER I FIND PARKING!
(robotic ad-libs: "Affirmative." "Hasta la vista, baby." "I'll be back.")
(spoken, slowing down)
I'll be back...
After I find...
Parking...
(beat)
(whisper) ...
Spot found.
(car door slam, engine starts)
(SYNTH FADE OUT)
