The streets will be cool and clean again Then it's time to go downstairs He'll be sitting' in a limo with a gun in his hand You've been waiting' like this for years Through all the laughter and the cloudy tears Always standin' on a tightrope Through a million little bands Always waitin' for redemption
You'll hear me tickin' like a tome bomb Too late to turn back now I've gone beyond overload You'll hear me tickin' like a tome bomb It's now or never, my darlin', It's too late to turn back tonight
Just more of the same old thing again Always runnin' round in circles Always workin' for the man But tonight I'm breakin' out of here Tonight I'm going to make a stand My heart is on fire and so is my mind Now it's time to downstairs Catch his look of confusion When I take him by the hand
He'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb
