I was walkng down Eliot Street the other day and looking at the Hendries building for the umpteenth time when inspiration hit me. Here is a re-write of one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. (Heaven forbid you haven’t heard the song which you can do here. You can find original lyrics here.)

I am waiting, I am waiting, oh yeah, oh yeah
I am waiting, I am waiting, oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to take that building down
Waiting for someone to take that building down

You can’t hold out, you can’t hold out, oh yeah, oh yeah
You can’t hold out, you can’t hold out, oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to take that building down
Waiting for someone to take that building down

See it all come down and after way too long
Oh, yes you’ll be surprised, well, if it happens anytime
It’s branded on our minds, you’ll find out

Slow or fast, slow or fast, oh yeah, oh yeah
End at last, end at last, oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to take that building down
Waiting for someone to take that building down

It’s stood up for years and caused all sorts of fears
Oh, yes we will find out, well, like a winter storm
Snow may bring it down, you’ll find out

Oh we’re waiting, oh we’re am waiting, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh we’re waiting, oh we’re waiting, oh yeah, oh yeah
Waiting for someone to take that building down
Waiting for someone to take that building down
