There's a bomb in the air
And it doesn't really care
Much about what I think of you

And the wheels in the sky
See the devil pass me by
And I don't ever think of you

So tell what you want to do
I don't know what I think of you, it's turn-

It's turning
World keeps turning

There's a bomb in the air
And it doesn't really care
Much about what I think of you

And the wheels in the sky
See the devil pass me by
And I don't really think of you

So tell what you want to do
I don't think I'm in love with you
I'm going to put on my shoe

This time I'm
Hypnotized, I'm

There's a bomb in the air
And it doesn't really care
Much a-

That's right
