If you wanna make a move then you better come
In it's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
Secret to a good life's knowing when you're throught
Black coat white shoes black hat
Cadillac yeah the boy is a time bomb
Well he's back in the hole where they got
Him living like a rat but he's smarter than
That nine lives like a cat
Fifteen years old they take him to
The youth autority
Home first thing you learn
You got to make it in this world alone
Black coat white shoes black hat
Cadillac yeah the boy is a time bomb
Now he has gotten out he has
Gotten free he gotta go got a car
He's twenty-one years old he's running
Numbers from the bar his pager's beeping
He's getting deep in whatever he can move
On and you know that kid is a creeping in
Black coat white shoes black hat
Cadillac yeah the boy is a time bomb
The boy is a time bomb
Tears come from the razor that's been
Tattooed below his eye
His mother cries she knows that
He is strong enough to
Die he's rolling in the cadillac
It's midnight sunroof is
Down three shots ring
Out the hero is dead
The new king is crowned
Black coat white shoes black hat
Cadillac yeah the boy is a time bomb
Oh time bomb
