Halford (Rob Halford) - Jawbreaker lyrics

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]

Deadly as the viper

Peering from its coil

The poison there is coming to the boil

Ticking like a time bomb

The fuse is running short

On the verge of snapping if it's caught

And all the pressure that's been building up

For all the years it bore the load

The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort

Ready to explode

Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner

Wound up as a spring

Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering

Muscles all contorted

Claws dug in the dirt

Every ounce of fibre on alert

And all the pressure that's been building up

For all the years it bore the load

The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort

Ready to explode

Jawbreaker
