The Hives
Tick Tick Boom (demo)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I was right all along
Yeah, you come taggin' along
Exhibit A on a tray, what you say
As I throw it in your face?
Exhibit B, what you see? Well, that's me
I'll put you back in your place

[Chorus]
You've been playing my game
And it's always the same
And now you must be insane
Because you do it again
It's too late, it's too soon, or is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom!
Ow!

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was right, you were wrong
Yeah, going, going, you're gone
I saw you hesitating, waiting too much
Until it slipped through your hands
And then you stagger to your feet and out the door
'Cause there's no second chance

[Chorus]
You've been playing my game
But it's always the same
And now you must be insane
Because you do it again
It's too late, it's too soon, or is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom!
[Bridge]
Now you come crying to me, but it's too late
The man you try hard to be, but it's too late
Get your head out the sand, but it's too late
It's too late, too late, too late, too late

Yeah, but it's too late
But it's too late
Too late, too late, too late

[Chorus]
You've been playing my game
But it's always the same
And now you must be insane
Because you do it again
You've been playing my game
But it's always the same
And now you must be insane
Because you do it again
It's too late, it's too soon, or is it?
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, boom!
