Lyrics Old 97’s – Timebomb

I got a timebomb 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, oh ooh

I got a landmine 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, oh ooh

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 timebomb 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, oh ooh

I got a timebomb 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, oh

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
Oh Celeste
