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 girls’ lies
When I look back on those neon nights The leather seats, the passage right 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 For a second there we won Yeah we were innocent and young
Cast out of the night And you got a foolish heart So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part 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 it, painted it black You should have seen your little face, burning for love Hold on to your life
And all 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 For a second there we won Yeah we were innocent and young
Dust clouds settle My eyes are clear But sometimes the dreams have impact I still hear
Miss Atomic Bomb And I’m standing here Sweat on my skin And this love that I cradle Is wearing thin But I’m standing here and you are too late The shockwave whispers and seals your fate
But you move to the ground and you took a chance On a losers game But you can’t survive when you want it all It’s another side
