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 schoolgirls' lies

When I look back on those neon lights

The leather seats, the passage rite

I feel the heat, I see the light

Miss Atomic Bomb

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

Racing shadows under moonlight

Through the desert on a hot night

And for a second there we'd won

Yeah, we were innocent and young

Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart

So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part

It 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, burnin' for love

Holdin' on for your life

All that I wanted was a little touch,

A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no

Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time

Miss Atomic Bomb

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

Racing shadows under moonlight

We're taking chances on a hot night

And for a second there we'd won

Yeah we were innocent and young

The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear

But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear

Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here

Sweat on my skin

And this love that I've cradled

Is wearing thin (miss Atomic Bomb)

But I'm standing here and you're too late

Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate

It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (it's a proving ground)

You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn it to chance)
