Where it Sat

This song is about the painful effects of nuclear weapons.
There's a detonation that no one ever knows

Far from the habitations and the towns we know

A place we saw the light burn bright

Assembling jigsaws in the middle of the night

Mutated men begging for handouts

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

Protests and bans, so just clasp your hands

Just clasp your hands

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

(can't even go when the bomb's gonna blow... we don't even know the date)

Pick the bomb up from the side of the road

We don't want to be just neutrons and bones

Bodies bony, hypnotized

Just move to the moon, televised live

It'll be on the news--that we're gonna turn blue

Become newts, and given the boot

Measure radioactivity, and we'll boast the most

We will become roast

And look like toast

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

What about those who worked so hard, PhD's?

Let's get out, maybe.

Gonna blow, geez...

(The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow)

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

It WAS beautiful, sad.

Gonna blow...

There's a detonation that no one ever knows

Far from the habitations and the towns we know

A place we saw the light burn bright

Assembling jigsaws in the middle of the night

Mutated men begging for handouts

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow

Protests and bans, so just clasp your hands

Just clasp your hands

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

Where it sat

The hydrogen bomb is gonna blow.

(I can get out... maybe... let's make it...

we can get out, maybe, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...)

OOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!

Sorry!

Oh dear!

You're radioactive.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
