I'm sittin' on a time-bomb
|
The world is like a time-bomb
|
And it's about to explode...
|
|
There once was a young boy...a modestly done boy
|
Who seemed pretty normal on sight
|
Wantin' for nothin'...but wantin' for somethin'
|
But mama made everything right
|
Inside her protection he learned of rejection
|
By a world that was not quite his own
|
He took his reward in a double-edged sword
|
Now the poor boy is always alone
|
|
He built himself a time-bomb
|
A ticking, talking time-bomb
|
It's about to explode under me
|
His world is like a time-bomb
|
A walking, talking time-bomb
|
It's about to explode under me
|
|
Now off on a new day...alone in her own way
|
A young girl waits by the phone
|
Longin' for daddy...she's missin' him badly
|
She knows that he's not comin' home
|
So down by the levee...her heart weighin' heavy
|
She knows that she's got to break free
|
She falls when she sees him...she knows how to please him
|
They can't see the woods for the trees
|
|
She built herself a time-bomb
|
A walking, talking time-bomb
|
It's about to explode under me
|
She's sittin' on a time-bomb
|
A ticking, talking time-bomb
|
It's about to explode under me
|
|
You gotta have faith late into the night
|
If there's another day...try to make it right
|
Find another way...shine another light
|
|
So now they're both older...their world growin' colder
|
And nothin' appears as it seemed
|
They look to their future...and the wounds that they nurture
|
And try to hold on to their dreams
|
This terrible twosome have really been through some
|
Scenes that they both know by heart
|
Mem'ries that jail them...support that has failed them
|
And they laugh but it tears them apart
|
|
We're sittin' on a time-bomb
|
A ticking, talking time-bomb
|
It's about to explode under me
|
This world is like a time-bomb
|
A walking, talking time-bomb
|
It's about to explode under me
|
The world is like a time-bomb
|
A ticking, talking time-bomb
|
We're sittin' on a time-bomb and it's about to explode
|
|
I see the enemy...and he looks like me
|
I see the enemy...and he looks like me
|
Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
|
Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
|
