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

And when I look back on those neon nights

The leather seat, the passage right

I feel the heat, I see the light

From 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

Racing shadows in the moonlight

Through the desert on a hot night

And for a second there we won

Yeah, we were innocent and young

Cast out of the night

Well, you 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

His 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

Well, 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 on the moonlight

And taking chances on a hot night

And for a second there we 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 are too late

Your shock-wave whisper, has sealed your fate

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

And you took a chance (You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack)

On a loser's game (Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black)

Miss Atomic Bomb (You shoulda seen your little face burnin' for love, holding on for your life)

But you can't survive (Well, 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 (No, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
