THERE ARE SURELY MORE WORDS THAN THAT IN THE SONG
=================================================
 
I got a timebomb in my mind mom
I hear it ticking but I don't know why
I'd call the police but they don't like me
I hear them 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
