Lyrics for Los Alamos by Yello:
| | | Artist: | Yello |
| | Album: | Gold For Iron | | Track: | Los Alamos | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 312 | | | | Lyrics: | make a pair of wings for his head
On top of which his hands fold in a clasp
He looks like
Spencer Tracy now
For forty years then Harold Agnews' life tracked the atomic
age
From Chicago to Los Alamos to Hiroshima to Los Alamos to Lascala (?)
If King
Kong, eliciting an audience's sympathies by representing
a force taken out of nature and
abused
The innocent atom wore a gorilla suit
King is less troubled by capsules in his
land
Than by a rabid skunk in the area that might have threatened his children
And by a
raccoon that commandeers the basketball backboard over the
garage and will not back
off
Well anyway, we put the stuff together the next morning
And it looked as if the
thing was going to go critical
Then Fermet says "Let's go have lunch."
So we started
it all up again in the afternoon
And it went critical, and that was that
Some men no
doubt, will, before sleep, consider one thought:
"I am alone."
But some, in the mercy of
God or booze, do not
Long stare at the dark ceiling
Nixon's office is much hotter
now
The air-conditioning is missed
Outside, an early fourth-of-July celebration
Has
set off a brief volley of Chinese firecrackers
By nightfall, the East River will be ablaze with
rockets
Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in the atomic age
If they
do not die because of it
Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in the atomic
age
If they do not die because of it
Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in
the atomic age
If they do not die because of it
Those born in the atomic age will most
likely die in the atomic age
If they do not die because of it | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
