If you wanna make the 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
The secret to a good life
Is knowing when you're through
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's 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
They take his soul
Tke him to the
Youth authority home
First thing you learn
You got to make it
In this world alone
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Now he's gotten out
He's gotten free
He gotta go, got a car
He's 21 years old
He's running numbers from the bar
His pager's beeping
He's getting deep in
Whatever he can move on in
You know that kid's a creepin'
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
-Solo-
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 rollin' in the cadillac
It's midnight, sunroof is down
Three shots rung out
The hero's dead
The new king is crowned
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes
Black hat, cadillac, yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Oooohhh time bomb
