Old 97s - Timebomb lyrics

rate me

I got a timebomb, in my mind Mom.

I hear it ticking but I don't know why.

I call the police, but they don't like me.

I hear 'em whispering when I walk by.

I got a landmine in my bloodline.

I'm not immune to getting blown apart.

She's like a claymore, that's what she's there for.

She's waiting 'round here to get blown apart.

Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train,

She's gonna kill me. Oh Celeste, oh Celeste.

I got a timebemb, in my mind Mom,

It's gonna go off, but I don't know when.

I need a doctor to extract her.

I got a feeling she'd get right back in again

I got a timebemb, in my mind Mom,

I got it badly for a stick-legged girl

She's gonna kill me, and I don't mean softly.

I got it badly for a stick-legged girl

Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train,

She's gonna kill me. Oh Celeste, oh Celeste, oh Celeste.
