I’m the Bomb

Liner Notes

#lyricsonly for the moment

I just wanted to write something with a different sense of rhythm than I usually write from.

Lyrics

You treated me so oddly
Like I’m Skipper, not the Barbie
Like I showed up in my pjs
Just when things were getting sleazy

Guess I came off too casual
Well, you made it feel natural
Then got gone
They say keep calm and carry on

But I can’t push it down
When you’re all over town
Cause you came on like a come on
And made me the bomb
Now I’m the bomb

CHORUS
Come on, come on, pump me up
Watch me, am I, gonna pop?
Give me, get me, take a cut
I think you just wouldn’t stop…
Now I’m the bomb

You wanted me real badly
When you thought you couldn’t have me
But you drove off in a hurry
As I stopped looking so blurry

Your words skewed dark and trenchant
When you felt me getting sentient
Then you ran
You drove off like an unmarked van

Like someone planning theft
Baby, you up and left
But first you came on like a come on
And made me the bomb
Now I’m the bomb

BRIDGE
I got the letter you sent with your sister
I found it outside on the porch
Stuck under the mat near the stoop where we sat
The morning before, when you still wanted more…
You lit all my fuses, now say you don’t choose this
I’m keeping a list of your petty abuses
It’s Protestant-pinned to my door

CHORUS x2
