Songtext Miss atomic bomb The Killers

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 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

ahhhhhhhhohhhhhhh

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 losing situation

But you can’t survive when you want it all

It’s another side
