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 [bad word] 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 
little tenderness and [bad word] 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
