other shoe

I am waiting

for the other shoe to drop

I know it's time

and I can't make it stop

something must go wrong

I'm making out a list

there's got to be a fuck-up

'cause that's the way it always is

I am ready

I have my strategies in hand

I know the drill

but it's more than I can stand

something must go wrong

that's the way it is, I know

the only reason I know this

is that my history tells me so

so I am waiting

for the storm to pass through

until then

I've done all that I can do

something must go wrong

fear is like a second cousin

something must go wrong

what happens if it doesn't?
