TIME BOMB

take it to the head
i'm gonna run paint this city red
if only in my mind
it humors me from time to time

to break into the time bomb
baby it's a long coming, oh my

maybe when it's cold
i'll remember everything i sold
a moment at a time
until i wrap it up and turn on a dime

to break into the time bomb
baby it's a long coming, oh my

to run for the light
to run, for the wolves are catching up on me
to run for the light
to shit on the shadow i can barely see
to run for the light
it's not a race but still i know the place to be

somewhere up ahead
it's everything i ever said
even when i lied
i held it all so deep inside

til i broke into the time bomb
baby, it's a long time coming, oh my

to run for the light
to run like the wind, it's blowing over me
to run for the light
i'm waiting for the river to roll over me
to run for the light
it's not a race but still i know the place to be
to run for the light
it's just a thing and i'll take the time to sing to the trees
to run for the light
i feel it now and i think it's time to bow to the breeze

i better run for my life

looking back now
i kept the sweat upon my brow
when i should have wiped it clean
but i know exactly what it means

it's time to break into the time bomb
baby it's a long coming, oh my

to run for the light
to run, for the wolves are catching up on me
to run for the light
to shit on the shadow i can barely see
to run for the light
to run like the wind, it's blowing over me
to run for the light
i'm waiting for the river to roll over me
to run for the light
it's not a race but still i know the place to be
to run for the light
it's just a thing and i'll take the time to sing to the trees
to run for the light
i feel it now and i think it's time to bow to the breeze

to run for my life...
