1
Nostradamus said I predict
2
That the world will end at half past six
3
What he didn't say was exactly when
4
Was he listening to the radio?
5
Was he listening to the government?
6
Well he got us spooked anyway
7
We'd been running hot up until today
8
But a wind of change blew across our sails
9
We were coasting on a winning streak
10
We were kings until the power failed
11
[chorus:]
12
We've been living in a tinderbox
13
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
14
Rubbing up together around the clock
15
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
16
You and me together in a tinderbox
17
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
18
Rubbing up together around the clock
19
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
20
You and me together in a tinderbox
21
Godzilla came in disguise
22
Tore the building down right before our eyes
23
Kept the needle out of the red balloon
24
Was he worried we might go too far
25
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
26
The sun descends down in Mexico
27
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
28
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
29
Things are gonna have to change
30
Some holes along the road get filled
31
[repeat chorus]
32
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
33
Guns going off if we don't uncock it
34
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
35
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket
36
[repeat chorus]
