Fermi
Everyone you knew I passed your message to a few Seems the whole city's gone The plant's still here of course, turbines humming on I hope history forgives us for the liberties we take Last night was just a broken monument to old time's sake And I taste that atomic glow Tell your wife I said hello It was wrong, it was wrong I know Fare thee well until next year's show Stay the hell away Think of me in younger days Think of the girl who loved you the most Think of the nights with the crew on the coast Oh, I never thought I'd grow into my skeleton like this I can still feel the paper bracelet on your wrist When we chased that atomic glow Tell your wife I said hello It was wrong, it was wrong I know Fare thee well until next year's show County says the water's bad We're paying for energy we had It is hope, hope that pollutes My empty house - a faulty hazmat suit When you called I had a vision it was dangerous I was already here when the fission came to us And I will still be here with the decision of our lust You're on another couch, I'm in my kitchen, in my rust Oh we graced that atomic sky Tell the boys I said goodbye It was wrong, it was wrong you cry May the highway hear the dreams you sigh Oh we graced that atomic sky Tell the boys I said goodbye It was wrong, it was wrong you cry May the highway hear the dreams you sigh |
