Ticker / Timebomb

by Dog Faced Hermans

1.
Fat massed angel choirs, God's Opposition Sang in competition that day My ears burnt and hurt Jay birds walked Saw them with my own eyes On the pavement, cracks were marked to be avoided Didn't trip one time It was just too big to hold Some honeypot this It's going to break It's going to pour out You're going to lose it Lose it No money in hand, no business but mine Everything multiplies Oh my chemicals, in fission Heading for a spill now The sharp moment of illumination Is the very thing It was just too big to hold Some honeypot this It's going to break It's going to pour out You're going to lose it Lose it Catch your breath, hold it carefully This comes one time There's the murmur of girls On the bus home

Timebomb 05:04
It all went up I knew it would The beach was black my house on fire I would not miss it anyway You'd wired it up like a timebomb Wired it up like a timebomb So I got up and packaged flat Left all the precious things to urn They did not mean a thing to me You'd wired it up like a timebomb Wired it up like a timebomb In twenty years of afternoons An overdose of everyday She left in haste for something else All wired up like a timebomb All wired up like a timebomb Would have cut it anyway But now's as good as any time The finest thread that ever held All wired up like a timebomb All wired up like a timebomb Our lives are wired Like our gardenias Our lives are wired Our lives are wired Like our gardenias When all the rest of it was gone And I was left and scared to death But would not wish another way All wired up like a timebomb All wired up like a timebomb
