Wait until dawn The streets will be cool and clean again Then it's time to go downstairs And meet the man He'll be sittin' in a limo with a gun in his hand You've been waitin' 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 Now it's right at hand You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb Ready ready to explode Too late to turn back now I've gone beyond overload You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb
Ready ready to ignite It's now or never, my darlin', It's too late to turn back tonight Nothin' left to gain 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 gonna make a stand I've never felt so alive My heart is on fire and so is my mind Now it's time to go downstairs And meet the man Catch his look of confusion When I take him by the hand He'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb...
