The Killers Miss Atomic Bomb lyrics

You were standing with your girlfriends in the street
Falling back on forever
I wonder what you came to be
I was new in town the boy with the eager eyes
I never was a quitter
Oblivious to school girls lies

When I look back, on those neon lights
The leather seat, the passage rite
I feel the heat, I see the light

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

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

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 have seen your little face
Burnin' for love, holdin' on for your life

All that I wanted was a little touch
A little tenderness, the truth
I didin't ask for much, no
Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time


Miss Atomic Bomb
We're making 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

The dust cloud is settled and my eyes are clear
But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear

Miss Atomic Bomb
I'm standing here
Sweat on my skin
And this love that I've cradled
Is wearing thin

(Miss Atomic Bomb)

But I'm standing here
And you're too late
(You're gonna miss me when I'm gone)
Your shockwave whispered
(Shockwave whispered)
And sealed your fate

(It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back)
It's a proving ground
(You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack)
And you took a chance
(Your soul was innocent she kissed him and she painted it black...)
