Timebomb Lyrics

It all went up I knew it would

The beach was black my house on fire

I would not miss it anyway

You'd wired it up like a timebomb

Wired it up like a timebomb

So I got up and packaged flat

Left all the precious things to burn

They did not mean a thing to me

You'd wired it up like a timebomb

Wired it up like a timebomb

In twenty years of afternoons

An overdose of everyday

She left in haste for something else

All wired up like a timebomb

All wired up like a timebomb

Would have cut it anyway

But now's as good as any time

The finest thread that ever held

All wired up like a timebomb

All wired up like a timebomb

Our lives are wired

Like our gardenias

Our lives are wired

Our lives are wired

Like our gardenias

When all the rest of it was gone

And I was left and scared to death

But would not wish another way

All wired up like a timebomb

All wired up like a timebomb
