Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will end
at half past six
What he didn't say
was exactly when
Was he
listening to the radio
Was he
listening to the government
Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running hot
up until today
But a wind of change
blew across our sales
We were coasting on a
winning streak
We were kings until the
power failed
We've been
living in a tinderbox
And two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down
right before our eyes
Kept the needle
out of the red balloon
Was he worried
we might go too far
Maybe wind up
rhyming moon and June
The sun descends
down in Mexico
While a fancy car
back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame
leads to overkill
Things are gonna
have to change
Some holes along
the road get filled
We've been
living in a tinderbox
And two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
Pressure's gonna cook us
if we don't unlock it
Guns going off
if we don't uncock it
We've gotta climb out of the
other one's pocket
Or we're gonna burn out
on this beautiful rocket
Tinderbox
two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks
can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been
getting more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
