Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, there's a funny thing that I never saw coming
I always thought I was kind, caring and loving
Then this detonation clicked
And blew that all away
[Verse 2]
Oh, there's a set number of beats in every heart they say
My heart it beats that number every minute every day, yeah
I am wound up, talking time bomb
Talking too much, staying too long
I had to sit down with a pen and a paper
And map the path to my detonator
[Verse 3]
Detonator, detonator, oh
Devastator
Detonator, detonator, oh
[Verse 4]
It started underground or was it overground
Or the alley in the parking lot we used to hang around?
When good was real good and bad was worse than looking the dawn
There was that kid, all ribs, looked like he just came from a riot
Met him in the lobby bathroom doing lines at the Hyatt
I've never been to a riot, once I tried, but I got there late, detonator
[Verse 5]
Detonator, detonator, oh
Devastator
Detonator, detonator
[Verse 6]
Was it that night I walked to to the Waverly hotel?
I had a baggie and a bottle and I checked in by myself
The window had a hole, thank God, I could not see my reflection, thank God, thank God
I knew this bunch of losers and knew they felt the same
And I wouldn't call 'em friends but they new my name
And we'd talk on a treadmill until till the morning came
And in the afternoon I'd wake up with Beethoven hair
So embarrassed by behaviour I had to pretend not to care
I'd yell fuck out loud like, "fuck", it just came out
I don't know why, no, I still don't know why
[Verse 7]
Detonator, detonator
Devastator
Detonator, detonator
[Verse 8]
Detonator, detonator, oh
Detonator, detonator, oh
Detonator, detonator, detonator
Devastator
[Verse 9]
Detonator, detonator, oh
[Verse 10]
Oh, it's a funny thing that I never saw coming
I always thought I was kind, caring and loving
Then this detonation clicked
And blew that all away
Detonator, detonator, oh
Devastator
Detonator, detonator, oh
Devastator
