Lyrics for 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. 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. Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train, She's gonna kill me. 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 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 Having her on my brain's like getting hit by a train, She's gonna kill me. Oh Celeste, oh Celeste, oh Celeste.
