Lyrics
Enewetak
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ah, this could have been Enewetak
Stressed, embattled, irradiated, evacuated
And something's on in those isles
A foreign power said
Ah, this could have been Enewetak
Now bathed in comet spray
So many devils were called out now cast in concrete
The land was vapor after Operation Ivy
Hydrogen megatons, medical 4.1
Has anyone else read H.G. Wells shapes have come?
Try to find Enewetak, they say man will bury you
But I hope God takes you back in his arms and says
"Earth, air, fire and the sea", physics stole them all from me
But I will try to keep Enewetak out the rising waves
And all the mothers loved their babies
Though they weren't like us no more
Lay out a heading for the home world
Of a species on parole
Dust in the atmosphere, 24,000 years
A radioactive trail of tears in the sand
