Wait until dawn   The streets will be cool and clean again   Then it's time to go downstairs, meet the man   He'll be sittin' in a limo with a gun in his hand      You've been waitin' like this for years   Through all the laughter and the cloudy tears   Always standin' on a tightrope through a million little bands   Always waitin' for redemption and now it's right at hand      You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb   Ready, ready to explode   Too late to turn back now   I've gone beyond overload      You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb   Ready, ready to ignite   It's now or never, my darlin'   It's too late to turn back tonight   Night, night, night, night      Nothin' left to gain   Just more of the same old thing again   Always runnin' 'round in circles   Always workin' for the man      But tonight I'm breakin' out of here   Tonight I'm gonna make a stand   I've never felt so alive   My heart is on fire and so is my mind      Now it's time to go downstairs, meet the man   Catch his look of confusion   When I take him by the hand      You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb   Ready, ready to explode   Too late to turn back now   I've gone beyond overload      You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb   Ready, ready to ignite   It's now or never, my darlin'   It's too late to turn back tonight   Night, night      Like a time bomb   Ready, ready to explode   Too late to turn back now   I've gone beyond overload      You'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb   Ready, ready to ignite   It's now or never, my darlin'   It's too late to turn back tonight   Night, night, night, night
