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
