It was a rock and roll goodbye (Repeat Chorus) Last seen in Austin, Texas fronting her own band At the Continental Club there was barely room to stand Livin' out her fantasy like everybody should Now I hear she's 31 and she's talking motherhood She's a time bomb, about to explode She's a time bomb, nobody knows She's a land mine, you'd better watch your step She's the wild kind, that can't be kept She's a time bomb, tick tock tick tock You can hear her brain tickin' like a cheap alarm clock
