| 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 |
