Atomic

At the end of the world, suddenly I feel alive

There's nothing in the world like a Southern California night

I always hoped that someday, everything would be all right

And now someday has arrived tonight

We're speeding through the city tonight

We'll hit this town just like a bomb

For this one moment, this world is ours

And still we're waiting, for the atomic bomb

Black palm trees sway, and whisper to the hopeless sky

Close your eyes and feel the ghosts of Hollywood go by

Still the dream is gone, still the dreams are left to die

Behind the lights and a proper miss dies
