Love Bomb

 

Your heart looks like what the cat dragged in

And you call out the trucks ‘cause they’re at it again

You try to pull back but the road is blocked

And the rescue team’s in a state of shock

 

Put a mattress by the window and a board across the door

The love bomb is a-falling’ there’s no safety anymore

Go hide in a shelter, hope the fallout passes by

The love bomb is exploding and you think you’re gonna die

 

The first time is the one time that you think you figured out

The next time was that one time you stayed home a year to pout

And then there is that other time you wish you could forget

Now the time is coming round again and it ain’t over yet

 

The siren starts a-blaring and your brain begins to sink

You wish the smoke would clear enough to give you room to think

The battle rages on and on, you look around for help

Too bad the only war in town exists within yourself

 

Put a mattress by the window and a board across the door

The love bomb is a-falling’ there’s no safety anymore

Go hide in a shelter, hope the fallout passes by

The love bomb is exploding and you think you’re gonna die

 

It’s time to pull the curtains down and dim the lamps to low

No matter how to want to die, it’s not your time to go

So pour a little concrete in the bunker of your soul

And pray the kiss that’s coming down will leave your body whole

 

Put a mattress by the window and a board across the door

The love bomb is a-falling’ there’s no safety anymore

Go hide in a shelter, hope the fallout passes by

The love bomb is exploding and you think you’re gonna die
