Wait until dawn   The streets will be cool and clean again   Then it's time to go downstairs   And 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   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     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   And meet the man   Catch his look of confusion   When I take him by the hand     He'll hear me tickin' like a time bomb...
