Lyrics

I walked into the room, and she was right there waiting
Leaning up against the bar
Well she was perpertraitin'
Slick as snot her spandex
And blacker than some coal
She set her gaze upon my bootie
With disco in her soul
So much for indecision
So quick did she decide
The temptress with her doors open inviting me inside
"I want to take you home with me"
Said the sparkle in her eye
"I would like to honey, but I'm about to die."

I have got a time bomb
I strapped it to my chest
When it blows I'm out of here
You can have what's left

The room got kind of quiet
And you could smell the fear
I only heard the jukebox play "a tear is in my beer"
"So what's the verdict mister?
When's it gonna blow?"
I just winked at her and said
"Darlin' I don't know."
Time-bomb tickin' in the room
Everybody goes someday
Blows so quick you better be
Somewhere where it's safe
Thin skinned thread-bare thinkin'
Now you're gonna die
Don't try to rock the jukebox
Just kiss this world good-bye
What's the deal, don't you feel
Alone now in the silence?
Pushing up the daisies now
There's better ways for you to diet
Seeking after sucker wealth
Suckers feel what suckers dealt
All your life you stuffed your face
Now you're dead I rest my case
Got a story here to tell
So you better listen well
Some old lady in a church
Got a nickel in her purse
You were rich, she was poor
You dropped some fifties on the floor
She dropped her nickel with a clank
She was thinkin' third world think tank

The karaoke master
The drunkard
And the jerk
Ditch this sorry world and all its worth
Keep your candle burning
Waiting for the time
Ready to explode
The bomb is primed
