If was the cold war we could keep each other warm I on the first occasion that I met Marie We were crawling through the hatch 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 learned to the bomb She just came along and started to me But as we for the big one and I started singing her my songs And I think she started something for me

Oh Marie, there's something tells me just won't work out above That our love would a half life on the surface So at night while you are sleeping, I hold you closer because As our time short I get a little nervous
So I about the big one, WWIII Would we ever really care, the world had You could me here forever like you're holding me tonight I think about that big red and I'm tempted
