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...
