Time Bomb

If you wanna make the move then you better come in

It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin

Living and dying and the stories that are true

Secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living

Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives

Like a cat 15 years old, take him to the youth authority home

First thing you learn, you got to make it in this world alone

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free, he's gotta go, gotta car

He's 21 years old he's runnin' numbers from the bar

His pager's beepin', he's got in deep in

Whatever he can move on in, you know that kid's a creepin'

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

The boy's a time bomb

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below his eye

His mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough to die

He's rollin' in the Cadillac, it's midnight, sunroof is down

Three shots rung out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

Oh, time bomb
