Tinderbox歌词

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

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

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

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

Tiderbox

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

Tiderbox

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
