Tinderbox - Elton John
Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will
end at half past six
What he didn't say
was exactly when
Was he listening to the radio
Was he listening
to the government

Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running
hot up until today
But a wind of change
blew across our sales
We were coasting
on a winning streak
We were kings until
the power failed
We've been living
in a tinderbox
And two sparks can
set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks can set
the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox

Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down right
before our eyes
Kept the needle
out of the red balloon
Was he worried
we might go too far
Maybe wind up rhyming
moon and June
The sun descends down in Mexico
While a fancy car
back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame
leads to overkill

Things are gonna have to change

We've been living
he road get filled
We've been living
in a tinderbox
And two sparks can
set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks can set
the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
Pressure's gonna cook us
if we don't unlock it
Guns going off
if we don't uncock it
We've gotta climb out of
the other one's pocket
Or we're gonna burn
out on this beautiful rocket

tinderbox
two sparks can
set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks can set
the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
