Time - Bomb Lyrics - Billy Squier

I'm sittin' on a time-bomb 

The world is like a time-bomb 

And it's 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 

It's about to explode under me 

His world is like a time-bomb 

A walking, talking time-bomb 

It's 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... she's missin' him badly 

She knows that he's not comin' home 

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

She knows that she's got to break free 

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

They can't see the woods for the trees 

She built herself a time-bomb 

A walking, talking time-bomb 

It's about to explode under me 

She's sittin' on a time-bomb 

A ticking, talking time-bomb 

It's about to explode under me 

You gotta have faith late into the night 

If there's another day... try to make it right 

Find another way... shine another light 

Photos 

So now they're 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 

Mem'ries that jail them... support that has failed them 

And they laugh but it tears them apart 

We're sittin' on a time-bomb 

A ticking, talking time-bomb 

It's about to explode under me 

This world is like a time-bomb 

A walking, talking time-bomb 

It's about to explode under me 

The world is like a time-bomb 

A ticking, talking time-bomb 

We're sittin' on a time-bomb and it's 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
