Miss Atomic Bomb - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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 schoolgirl's lies

And when I look back on those neon nights

The leather seats, the passage rite

I feel the heat, I see the light

[Pre-Chorus]

From Miss Atomic Bomb

Making out we got the radio on

You're going to miss me when I'm gone

[Chorus]

Racing shadows in the moonlight

Through the desert on a hot night

For a second there we’d won

Yeah, we were innocent and young

[Verse 2]

Cast out of the night

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

Her 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Miss Atomic Bomb

Making out we've got the radio on

You're going to miss me when I'm gone

[Chorus]

Racing shadows through the moonlight

Taking chances on a hot night

For a second there we won

We were innocent and young

[Verse 3]

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 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 turn to chance)

Your soul was innocent

She kissed him and she painted it black (on a loser's game)

You should have seen your little face

Burning for love

(Miss Atomic Bomb)

[Outro]

Holding on for your life

But you can't survive (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 (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
