Here's to the Atom Bomb

 

Lyrics

Away to the side you move your head
Gravity fingers dig in your bed
The strangest man won't let you breathe
Rocking on you in a movie scene
His words fill your mouth
His kiss bleeds sick
Devoid of touch he lets out
To the streets where you were raised
Sittin' home waiting for the coming age
You had to wait your turn
You had to wait your turn

Wake up early, wash up late
Satellites connect you to your hate
Your patience grows but your skin is thin
The pager signals they're coming in
Through the hole in the wall
You're like the hole in the wall
Here's to the atom bomb
May everyone find a way to get off

A little piece of heaven is all you seek
In the same old reruns week after week
Their faces make you want to kill
That little piece of heaven
Singin' on the windowsill
No lights can turn you on
Pixelate the night
Bleedin' the words of your eyes
On the streets where you were born
Sittin' home waiting for the coming dawn
Near the hole in the wall
You're like the hole in the wall
