[00:14.49] Nostradamus said I predict
[00:16.81] That the world will end at half past six
[00:20.00]
[00:20.56] What he didn't say was exactly when
[00:23.98]
[00:26.86] Was he listening to the radio?
[00:29.12]
[00:30.25] Was he listening to the government?
[00:33.01]
[00:36.14] Well he got us spooked anyway
[00:38.64] We'd been running hot up until today
[00:41.96] But a wind of change blew across our sales
[00:46.08]
[00:48.64] We were coasting on a winning streak
[00:51.01]
[00:51.82] We were kings until the power failed
[00:53.95]
[00:56.64] We've been living in a tinderbox
[00:59.28]
[01:00.03] And two sparks can set the whole thing off
[01:03.68] Rubbing up together around the clock
[01:06.81] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[01:09.68]
[01:10.24] You and me together in a tinderbox
[01:14.38]
[01:16.94] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[01:19.52]
[01:20.27] Rubbing up together around the clock
[01:22.72]
[01:23.28] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[01:26.54] You and me together in a tinderbox
[01:31.45]
[01:47.26] Godzilla came in disguise
[01:50.08] Tore the building down right before our eyes
[01:52.83]
[01:53.77] Kept the needle out of the red balloon
[01:57.28]
[01:59.59] Was he worried we might go too far
[02:01.97]
[02:02.91] Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
[02:05.11]
[02:08.06] The sun descends down in Mexico
[02:10.44]
[02:11.07] While a fancy car back on Savile Row
[02:14.68] Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
[02:18.13]
[02:21.32] Things are gonna have to change
[02:23.46]
[02:24.02] Some holes along the road get filled
[02:25.93]
[02:29.07] We've been living in a tinderbox
[02:31.52]
[02:32.52] And two sparks can set the whole thing off
[02:35.34]
[02:35.90] Rubbing up together around the clock
[02:38.42]
[02:38.98] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[02:42.32] You and me together in a tinderbox
[02:46.74]
[02:48.98] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[02:51.43]
[02:52.18] Rubbing up together around the clock
[02:54.71]
[02:55.30] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[02:58.10]
[02:58.68] You and me together in a tinderbox
[03:04.15]
[03:05.52] Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
[03:08.66] Guns going off if we don't uncock it
[03:11.92] We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
[03:15.23] Or we're gonna burn, beautiful out on this rocket
[03:20.66]
[03:25.10] Tiderbox
[03:27.62]
[03:28.57] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[03:31.58] Rubbing up together around the clock
[03:34.02]
[03:34.65] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[03:37.91] You and me together in a tinderbox
[03:40.55]
[03:42.36] Tiderbox
[03:43.69]
[03:44.56] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[03:47.80] Rubbing up together around the clock
[03:50.24]
[03:50.98] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[03:54.23] You and me together in a tinderbox
[04:00.05]
