Lyrics: Rob Halford. Jawbreaker.

[Halford/Downing/Tipton]

Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil

Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
On the verge of snapping if it's caught

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring

Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering

Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fibre on alert

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker
