If this was the cold war we could keep other warm I said on the first that I met Marie We were crawling the hatch that was the missile silo door And I don't think that she thought that much of me

So I think about the big one, Would we really care, the world had ended? You could hold me here forever like you're holding me I think about that big red and I'm tempted
