TimeBomb — текст песни (Billy Squier)

Im sittin on a time-bomb

The world is like a time-bomb

And its 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

Its about to explode under me

His world is like a time-bomb

A walking, talking time-bomb

Its 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...shes missin him badly

She knows that hes not comin home

So down by the levee...her heart weighin heavy

She knows that shes got to break free

She falls when she sees him...she knows how to please him

They cant see the woods for the trees



She built herself a time-bomb

A walking, talking time-bomb

Its about to explode under me

Shes sittin on a time-bomb

A ticking, talking time-bomb

Its about to explode under me



You gotta have faith late into the night

If theres another day...try to make it right

Find another way...shine another light



So now theyre 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

Memries that jail them...support that has failed them

And they laugh but it tears them apart



Were sittin on a time-bomb

A ticking, talking time-bomb

Its about to explode under me

This world is like a time-bomb

A walking, talking time-bomb

Its about to explode under me

The world is like a time-bomb

A ticking, talking time-bomb

Were sittin on a time-bomb and its 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
