[00:14.31] Nostradamus said I predict
[00:15.68] That the world will end at half past six
[00:19.51]
[00:20.50] What he didn't say was exactly when
[00:24.09]
[00:27.04] Was he listening to the radio?
[00:28.79]
[00:30.18] Was he listening to the government?
[00:32.24]
[00:36.17] Well he got us spooked anyway
[00:37.85]
[00:38.73] We'd been running hot up until today
[00:41.10]
[00:42.03] But a wind of change blew across our sales
[00:45.21]
[00:48.65] We were coasting on a winning streak
[00:50.58]
[00:51.89] We were kings until the power failed
[00:53.51]
[00:56.90] We've been living in a tinderbox
[00:58.46]
[00:59.91] And two sparks can set the whole thing off
[01:02.86]
[01:03.54] Rubbing up together around the clock
[01:05.54]
[01:06.68] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[01:09.18]
[01:10.11] You and me together in a tinderbox
[01:12.17]
[01:14.67] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[01:19.53]
[01:20.10] Rubbing up together around the clock
[01:22.34]
[01:23.22] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[01:25.77]
[01:26.65] You and me together in a tinderbox
[01:30.47]
[01:47.38] Godzilla came in disguise
[01:48.81]
[01:50.12] Tore the building down right before our eyes
[01:52.43]
[01:53.43] Kept the needle out of the red balloon
[01:56.88]
[01:59.76] Was he worried we might go too far
[02:01.82]
[02:03.02] Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
[02:05.08]
[02:08.20] The sun descends down in Mexico
[02:10.26]
[02:11.14] While a fancy car back on Savile Row
[02:13.82]
[02:14.63] Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
[02:17.13]
[02:21.37] Things are gonna have to change
[02:23.05]
[02:24.05] Some holes along the road get filled
[02:25.86]
[02:29.17] We've been living in a tinderbox
[02:31.06]
[02:32.18] And two sparks can set the whole thing off
[02:35.69] Rubbing up together around the clock
[02:38.20]
[02:38.90] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[02:41.59]
[02:42.46] You and me together in a tinderbox
[02:44.52]
[02:47.20] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[02:51.63]
[02:52.32] Rubbing up together around the clock
[02:54.50]
[02:55.32] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[02:58.00]
[02:58.69] You and me together in a tinderbox
[03:00.81]
[03:05.74] Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
[03:08.00]
[03:08.56] Guns going off if we don't uncock it
[03:11.26]
[03:11.88] We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
[03:15.03] Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket
[03:17.66]
[03:18.59] Tiderbox
[03:25.08]
[03:28.01] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[03:30.88]
[03:31.63] Rubbing up together around the clock
[03:33.63]
[03:34.82] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[03:37.12]
[03:37.94] You and me together in a tinderbox
[03:40.37]
[03:42.55] Tiderbox
[03:43.24]
[03:44.24] Two sparks can set the whole thing off
[03:47.11]
[03:47.79] Rubbing up together around the clock
[03:50.23]
[03:51.23] Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
[03:53.44]
[03:54.24] You and me together in a tinderbox
