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      chorus:   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   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      [Chorus]      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      [Chorus]
