Old 97s - Time Bomb lyrics

I got a time bomb, in my mind, Mom

I hear it ticking but I don't know why

I call the police but they don't like me

I hear 'em whispering when I walk by

I got a land mine in my bloodline

I'm not immune to getting blown apart

She's like a claymore, that's what she's there for

She's waiting 'round here to get blown apart

Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train

She's gonna kill me, oh, Celeste, oh, Celeste

Oh, Celeste, oh, Celeste

I got a time bomb, in my mind, Mom

It's gonna go off but I don't know when

I need a doctor to extract her

I got a feeling she'd get right back in again

I got a time bomb, in my mind, Mom

I got it badly for a stick-legged girl

She's gonna kill me and I don't mean softly

I got it badly for a stick-legged girl

Having her on my brain's, getting hit by a train

She's gonna kill me, oh, Celeste, oh, Celeste

Oh, Celeste, oh, Celeste

Oh, Celeste
