If this was the cold war we could keep each warm I said on the first occasion that I met We were through the hatch that was the missile silo door And I don't think that she really that much of me
I never had to learn to love her like I to love the bomb She just came and started to ignore me But as we waited for the big one and I started her my songs And I think she feeling something for me

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