What's that sound
What's that sound
What's that sound
You got me hanging on
And listening to confessions on the telephone
Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me now
You beat me black and blonde
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

You beat me black and blonde
Ticking like a bomb
Ticking like a bomb
You leave me black and blonde
Ticking like a bomb
Ticking like a bomb
Black and blonde
Break me down into the gun
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

Dumb it down
Dumb it down
Dumb it down
I’ll spell it out for you
I’m the greatest fucking thing that ever happened to you
It’s over now
It's over now
It's over now
What a way to go
Cause no one ever really has to know
Cause he was just another bloody so-and-so
You beat me black and blonde
Ticking like a bomb
Ticking like a bomb
You leave me black and blonde
Ticking like a bomb
Ticking like a bomb
And I'll take you on
Until I’m gone
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

Sleep little child
I forgive you
And for the tears I caused
I’m sorry, too

Black and blonde
Ticking like a bomb
You leave me black and blonde
Ticking like a bomb
And I’ll take you on
You break me down
And I’ll take you on
Until I’m gone
