an h-bomb explosion

Dm F

A painted jail cell of blood in

Nightmares on TV they

used to sing us to sleep

F Em

They burn on and on like an oil field

Or a memory of what it felt like

F Em

To burn on and on and not just fade away

All those nights in the basement

Now your eyes follow the

sign on the edge of town

They offer a welcome

G F

when you are leaving

(Repeat Chorus 2)
