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 girl's lies
And when I look back
On those neon nights
The leather seat
The passage rite
I feel the heat
I see the light
Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out, we got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows in the moonlight
Through the desert on a hot night
And for a second there, we'd won
Yeah, we were innocent and young
Oooooh
Cast out of the night
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
You 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 got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows in the moonlight
Taking chances on a hot night
And for a second there, we'd won
Yeah, we were innocent and young
The dust cloud is 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 shockwave whispered
And 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 took a chance)
Your soul was innocent
She kissed him (On a loser's game)
And she painted it black
You should have seen your little face
Burning for love
Holding on for your life (But you can't survive)
All that I wanted was a little touch
A little tenderness and truth (When you want it all)
I didn't ask for much, no (There's another side)
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time
