Lyrics
Nuclear Sun
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.
Looks like the ending has begun
So flick your cigarette into the mess
Walk right by the homeless guy
Careful not to catch his eye
If nobody's looking, why confess
The ride is fast and it won't last
And it's already in the past
Squinting at a fluorescent screen
Thinking about what's already been
While outside the sky is turning brown
Worship the idols of Seventeen
Children in makeup on magazines
When did it all turn upside down
The ride is fast and it won't last
It's already in the past
And the nuclear sun is blazing overhead
Turning the sky white and red
The ride is fast and it won't last
It's already in the past
Habits die hard, but it's in our cards
At last, at last
And the nuclear sun is blazing overhead
The ride is fast and it won't last
And it's already in the past
