es precisamente con dicho título, con el que mucho indie enamorado se ha dado de bruces, porque, aunque la melodía sea edulcorada y popular, la letra se inspira en los vagabundos fallecidos en el terremoto de San Fernando, California, en 1971. Y es que únicamente Black Francis es capaz de unificar el color de un riff icónico y la penumbra de un macabro recuerdo, en un himno generacional.
Outside there's a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait 'til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
here comes your man
Big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that's falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
