verse 1 You were standing with your girlfriends in the street Falling back on forever I wonder what you came to be verse 2 I was new in town the boy with the eager eye I never was a quitter oblivious to school girls lies BRIDGE 1 And when I look back, on those neon nights The leather seat the passage right, I feel the heat, I see the light Chorus 1 Miss Atomic Bomb, we're making out we got the radio on You're gonna miss me when I'm gone, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone Racing shadows in the moonlight, through the desert on a hot night And for a second there we'd won, yeah we were innocent and young LINK | | | || verse 3 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 verse 4 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've seen your little face burnin' for love, holding on for your life BRIDGE 2 And 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 Chorus 2 Miss Atomic Bomb, we're making out we got the radio on You're gonna miss me when I'm gone, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone Racing shadows in the moonlight, taking chances on a hot night And for a second there we'd won, yeah we were innocent and young MIDDLE 8 The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear Chorus 3 Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here, sweat on my skin and this love that I've cradled is wearing thin But I'm standing here, and you're too late Your shockwave whisper (shockwave whisper) has sealed your fate Chorus 4 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've seen your little face burnin' for love Chorus 5 Holding on for your life all that I wanted was a little touch A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time OUTRO Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis, but it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes, 'cos I'm Mr Brightside
