Miss Atomic Bomb

You were standing with your girlfriends in the street
Falling back on forever
I wonder what you came to be
I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes
I never was a quitter oblivious to school girls' lies
And when I look back on those neon nights
You'll never see the passage right
I feel the heat, I see the light

The Miss Atomic Bomb...
We're making out, we've got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Raising shadows in the moonlight
Through the desert on a hot night
And for a second there we'd want
Yeah, we were innocent and young

Aaaaaaaah...

Cast out of the night
But you’ve got a foolish heart
So you took your place, but the fall from grace
Was the hardest part

Feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
You run for cover but you can’t escape the second attack
Your soul was innocent
She kissed him and she painted it black
You should have seen your little face, burning for love
Holding on for your life
All that I wanted was a little touch
A little tenderness and truth, I didn’t ask for much
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time

Miss Atomic Bomb...
We're making out, we've got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Raising shadows in the moonlight
Taking chances on a hot night
And for a second there we'd want
Yeah, we were innocent and young

The dust cloud has settled
And my eyes are clear
But sometimes your dreams have impact, I still hear

Miss Atomic Bomb...
I’m standing here
Sweat on my skin
And this love that I cradle is wearing thin
(Miss Atomic Bomb...)
But I’m standing here
And you’re too late
(You're gonna miss me when I'm gone...)
Your shockwave whisper (shockwave whisper)
Has sealed your fate

(Feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
You run for cover but you can’t escape the second attack
Your soul was innocent
She kissed him and she painted it black
You should have seen your little face, burning for love
Holding on for your life
All that I wanted was a little touch
A little tenderness and truth...)
