Have to Explode

[Verse 1]

Tile floor of the bathroom, scrubbed clean and bright

Checkerboard white and gray

Towels from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica

I can still see the rust-colored stains today

The stage is set

Someone's gonna do something someone else will regret

I speak in smoke signals and you answer in code

[Chorus 1]

The fuse will have to run out sometime

Something here will eventually have to explode, have to explode

[Verse 2]

You and me, lying on the tile floor

Trying to keep cool, restless all night

Sweating out the poison as the temperature climbs

Staring up, up at the hundred-watt light that burns above

Name one thing about us two anyone could love

We roll out the red carpet when rotten luck comes down the road

[Chorus 2]

Five, four, three, two, one, watch for the flash

Something here will eventually have to explode, have to explode
