Tinderbox |
| Nostradamus said I predict |
| That the world will end at half past six |
| What he didn’t say was exactly when |
| Was he listening to the radio? |
| Was he listening to the government? |
| Well he got us spooked anyway |
| We’d been running hot up until today |
| But a wind of change blew across our sales |
| We were coasting on a winning streak |
| We were kings until the power failed |
| We’ve been living in a tinderbox |
| And two sparks can set the whole thing off |
| Rubbing up together around the clock |
| Lately we’ve been getting more roll than rock |
| You and me together in a tinderbox (tinderbox) |
| Two sparks can set the whole thing off |
| Rubbing up together around the clock |
| Lately we’ve been getting more roll than rock |
| You and me together in a tinderbox |
| Godzilla came in disguise |
| Tore the building down right before our eyes |
| Kept the needle out of the red balloon |
| Was he worried we might go too far |
| Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June |
| The sun descends down in Mexico |
| While a fancy car back on Savile Row |
| Shows the price of fame leads to overkill |
| Things are gonna have to change |
| Some holes along the road get filled |
| Pressure’s gonna cook us if we don’t unlock it |
| Guns going off if we don’t uncock it |
| We’ve gotta climb out of the other one’s pocket |
| Or we’re gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket |
