A Whole Nother Trip: a) Bomb That Can't Explode

This used to be mine you know

Plenty of time and kindness overflowed

It was all right, then overnight

I was grown out of my happy home

Oh yeah

Transferred from school to school

Specialed in romance, gifted programs suck

I was the one, the prodigal son who got stuck

My parents were out of luck

 

Give the human mind some extra time

Get a dark cloud down the road

Give a genius son nowhere to run

Get a bomb that can't explode

A bomb that can't explode

 

Out of the blue to black

One day my dad had a massive heart attack

It wasn't my fault

He ate too much salt all his life

He's survived by his charming wife

and son

 

Give the human mind some extra time

Get a dark cloud down the road

Give a genius son nowhere to run

Get a bomb that can't explode

A bomb that can't explode

 

Give the human mind some extra time

Get a dark cloud down the road

Give a genius son nowhere to run

Get a bomb that can't explode

A bomb that can't explode

 

Now that you're out on your own

Will you make it your own way home

Now you can stand on two feet

Will you give up the dreams you've known

But will you wake up one day to find that you're alone
