Miss Atomic Bomb lyrics

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 scene, the passage right

I feel the heat, I see the light

Of 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 in the 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, she painted it black

You shoulda' seen your little face, burnin' for love

Holding on for your life

Well 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 in 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

But I'm standing here

And you're too late

Your shockwave whisper, it sealed your fate

It's a proving ground

And you took a chance

On a losing game

But you can't survive

When you want it all

There's another side
