Wait until dawn
The streets will be cool and clean again
Then it`s time to go downstairs
And meet the man
He`ll be sittin` in a limo with a gun in his hand
You`ve been waitin` like this for years
Through all the laughter and the cloudy tears
Always standin` on a tightrope
Through a million little bands
Always waitin` for redemption
Now it`s right at hand
You`ll hear me tickin` like a time bomb
Ready ready to explode
Too late to turn back now
I`ve gone beyond overload
You`ll hear me tickin` like a time bomb
Ready ready to ignite
It`s now or never, my darlin`,
It`s too late to turn back tonight
Nothin` left to gain
Just more of the same old thing again
Always runnin` round in circles
Always workin` for the man
But tonight I`m breakin` out of here
Tonight I`m gonna make a stand
I`ve never felt so alive
My heart is on fire and so is my mind
Now it`s time to go downstairs
And meet the man
Catch his look of confusion
When I take him by the hand
