You tick tock like a time bomb
You can blow me away
I let you blow me away, today

Turn something into nothing
I have to pick up the waist
You let me pick up the waist

Got Debbie debris
You twist that flow
Got Debbie debris
I hate you so
Got Debbie depris
You nasty girl

You drive me away
From here
Away, from here

You click clack like an engine
You can drive me away
I let you drive me away, today

Your slipstream make me faster
I can pick up the paste

You got me ticking like a timebomb
Who blows up in this ways
