Sander, the line....

"There is a wait so long, you 'll never wait so long"

is probably put in there because of when Kim repeats it after FB, it sounds like she's saying "so long" in a goodbye-type of way. Like, "So long everybody", because the hobo's are dying from the earthquake.

Look at the lyrics with the hobo idea instead of the atomic bomb thing and everything makes more sense. They're all waiting outside of their boxcars and probably hovering over a fire, hence "out by the fire breathing, outside we wait 'til face turns blue".

yes its an amazing song. Seems to be really long yet it clocks under three mins. By far the poppiest song they have ever written and probably in my top three songs of all time
