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 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 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 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 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're too late (You're gonna miss me when I'm gone)

Your shock-wave whisper has 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 and she painted it black) On a loser's game

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

But you can't survive (Well, all that I wanted was a little touch)

(A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much) When you want it all

(No, talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time) There's another side
