Miss Atomic Bomb

[Verse 1] 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 schoolgirl's lies And when I look back on these neon nights The leather seats, the passage rite I feel the heat, I see the light From Miss Atomic Bomb Making out we got the radio on You're going to miss me when I'm gone You're going to miss me when I'm gone [Chorus] Racing shadows through the moonlight Through the desert on a hot night For a second there we won We were innocent and young [Verse 2] Cast out of the night You got a foolish heart So you took your place with 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 2nd attack Her 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, 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 going to miss me when I'm gone You're going to miss me when I'm gone [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 are too late Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (It's so cruel) You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you're so) Your soul was innocent She kissed him and she painted it black (on a losing game) You should have seen your little face Burning for love (Miss Atomic Bomb) [Outro] Holding on for your life But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch) When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much) There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
