If this was the cold war we could keep each other I on the first occasion that I met Marie We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile door And I don't think she really thought that much of me
I had to learn to love her like I learned to love the bomb She just along and started to ignore me But as we waited for the big one and I started singing her my And I think she started something for me
We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring What five letters spell apocalypse?, she me I won her over saying Oh, we smiled and we both knew she misjudged me
Oh Marie, it was so to fall in love with you It felt like a home of sorts or something And you would the warhead missile silo good as new And I you with my thumb above the button
Then one night you found me in my army cot And you told me of your of inspiration You said, "Fusion was the broken heart lonely's only thought" And all night long you me wild with your equations
Oh Marie, do you all the time we used to take love and then ramsack the rations I think about you now in the avalanche cascades And my eyes get washed away in reactions
Oh Marie, if you would stay and we stick pins in the map Of all the places where you thought that love be found And I only need one pin to show where my love is at In a top location three hundred feet under the ground
Oh, we could each other close, stay up every night Looking up into the dark it's the night sky Pretend this giant missile is a old oak tree Carve our name in into the warhead
Oh Marie, there's something me things just won't work out above That our love would live a half on the surface So at night while you are sleeping, I hold you closer just As our grows short I get a little nervous
So I about the big one, WWIII we ever really care, the world had ended? You could hold me here like you're holding me tonight I think that big red button and I'm tempted
