Time Bomb

Well I been sweeping the leaves out of my driveway

And I been living a good life up till now

But the basket weaving and therapy sessions

Are barely enough to dampen obsessions man

I been taking a cold bath on the hour

I been sweet and I been good

Till you walk on home through my neighbourhood

Now, I watch you and I want you to know

When I hold your hand, I won't let go

I'm a walking, talking, ticking time bomb

Well, I been taking every ride from strangers

'Cause there ain't nobody, and I mean nobody stranger than me

Well, here's one soul your system won't save

If you get me put down maybe then I'll behave

But, I been living a good life up till now

Well, I been sweet and I been good

Till you walk on home through my neighbourhood

Now I watch you and I want you to know

When I hold your hand, I won't let go

I'm a walking, talking, ticking time, time bomb

Well, I been watching the world from out my window

And I been doing like they told me up at the hospital

I hold my breath and count to ten

But the thoughts I'm having defy description

Tell me, where in the hell did I put my prescription?

'Cause I been having those strange dreams again

Well, I been sweet and I been good

Till you walk on home through my neighbourhood

Now I watch you and I want you to know

When I hold your hand, I won't let go

I'm a walking, talking, ticking

Walking, talking, ticking time bomb

I'm a time bomb
