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 schoolgirls´ lies
When I look back on those neon lights The leather seats, the passage rite I feel the heat, I see the light
Miss Atomic Bomb Making out, we´ve got the radio on You´re gonna miss me when I´m gone You´re gonna miss me when I´m gone
Racing shadows under moonlight Through the desert on a hot night And for a second there we´d won Yeah, we were innocent and young
Cast out of the night, well you´ve 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 Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black You should have seen your little face, burnin´ for love Holdin 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…
Miss Atomic Bomb Making out we´ve got the radio on You´re gonna miss me when I´m gone You´re gonna miss me when I´m gone
Racing shadows under moonlight We´re taking chances on a hot night And for a second there we´d won Yeah we were innocent and young
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´re too late Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate
It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (It´s so cruel [?]) You run for cover but you can´t escape the second attack (and you turn your back, you´re so) Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a losing game) You should have seen your little face, burning for love, (Miss Atomic Bomb) Holdin´ 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)
