[Halford/Downing/Tipton]



Deadly as the viper

Peering from its coil

The poison there is coming to the boil



Ticking like a time bomb

The fuse is running short

On the verge of snapping if it's caught



And all the pressure that's been building up

For all the years it bore the load

The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort

Ready to explode

Jawbreaker



Crouching in the corner

Wound up as a spring

Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering



Muscles all contorted

Claws dug in the dirt

Every ounce of fibre on alert



And all the pressure that's been building up

For all the years it bore the load

The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort

Ready to explode

Jawbreaker
