Billy Squier - Time-bomb Lyrics
Im sittin on a time-bombThe world is like a time-bombAnd its about to explode...There once was a young boy...a modestly done boyWho seemed pretty normal on sightWantin for nothin...but wantin for somethinBut mama made everything rightInside her protection he learned of rejectionBy a world that was not quite his ownHe took his reward in a double-edged swordNow the poor boy is always aloneHe built himself a time-bombA ticking, talking time-bombIts about to explode under meHis world is like a time-bombA walking, talking time-bombIts about to explode under meNow off on a new day...alone in her own wayA young girl waits by the phoneLongin for daddy...shes missin him badlyShe knows that hes not comin homeSo down by the levee...her heart weighin heavyShe knows that shes got to break freeShe falls when she sees him...she knows how to please himThey cant see the woods for the treesShe built herself a time-bombA walking, talking time-bombIts about to explode under meShes sittin on a time-bombA ticking, talking time-bombIts about to explode under meYou gotta have faith late into the nightIf theres another day...try to make it rightFind another way...shine another lightSo now theyre both older...their world growin colderAnd nothin appears as it seemedThey look to their future...and the wounds that they nurtureAnd try to hold on to their dreamsThis terrible twosome have really been through someScenes that they both know by heartMemries that jail them...support that has failed themAnd they laugh but it tears them apartWere sittin on a time-bombA ticking, talking time-bombIts about to explode under meThis world is like a time-bombA walking, talking time-bombIts about to explode under meThe world is like a time-bombA ticking, talking time-bombWere sittin on a time-bomb and its about to explodeI see the enemy...and he looks like meI see the enemy...and he looks like meLooks a lot like you--looks a lot like meLooks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
