Lyrics Time Bomb - Old 97's

Time Bomb

I got a timebomb, in my mind Mom.
I hear it ticking but I don’t know why.
I call the police, but they don’t like me.
I hear 'em whispering when I walk by.
I got a landmine in my bloodline.
I’m not immune to getting blown apart.
She’s like a claymore, that’s what she’s there for.
She’s waiting 'round here to get blown apart.
Having her on my brain’s like getting hit by a train,
She’s gonna kill me.
Oh Celeste, oh Celeste.
I got a timebemb, in my mind Mom,
It’s gonna go off, but I don’t know when.
I need a doctor to extract her.
I got a feeling she’d get right back in again
I got a timebemb, in my mind Mom,
I got it badly for a stick-legged girl
She’s gonna kill me, and I don’t mean softly.
I got it badly for a stick-legged girl
Having her on my brain’s like getting hit by a train,
She’s gonna kill me.
Oh Celeste, oh Celeste, oh Celeste.
