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
