Strontium-90
Removed from milk
As curious an entity

As bull%#@! writ on silk

Cancer's airborne now

Do you hear the sound?
I was hanging out the washing, man
As the rain come falling down


Now the grass lies snakes
Has crowds of iodine and fire

On Jezebel's luminescence
I swear you are my heart's desire


Bomb proof the embassy
Give infanticide a cemetary
You looked so good on the late night news

With your curtain and your deed

Yeah, I love you like a violin

I'll hunt you like an amputee
But I ain't gonna lose my skin
I would love to see you again, again


I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again


You wrote me a letter
And this is how it went:

It said, "We're backing up the supply lines
The first division's crossin' the Nile
Through the rushes and up the side

And into the machine gun fire
Tell me that this is not a dream
I've become a steel spring

Uranium tips night vision cruise missles
Gonna cut the belly out of the sky


I rode an Abrams
We stopped in Bethlehem
They made the answers here

But there weren't so many questions then
And there I shot a woman
In a headscarf with my gun

She said 'Does my bomb look big in this?
Am I the only one?'


I was in the blitz you know
My heart was young and true
I had a Caesarean, but it was not any use


Oh calamity! Oh the vanity!
You can't ride a thunderbolt

You can't claim an enemy

See, there ain't nothing here

Except a darkness
I ain't gonna fail no test
I gave my dowry to a finger on a switch

Turn me to a fine pink mist

But I ain't nothing but a stranger still

If I'm even anyone at all
But I ain't gonna lose my skin
I would love to see you again


I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again


But that ain't gonna happen now
It's no use to pretend


How many people gonna lie?
How many people gonna die?

What's best for the Western and the greed?
Kill 'em all? Let 'em breed?
Another bomb for every atom you injure
Meet the Devil with extended ring finger
Saying 'thou shalt not kill'

But I'm damned if I don't
So I'm thinking I will

Yeah, Dan Pearl
They cut your head off on TV

But I am not a camera
A man is not an effigy
But still all this horror
Has made a trench out of my soul
I'm gonna have to fall in love with a blind girl

So she will not see the shame that I know

Oh, new scar
You have raised the bar
Goliath rides an oil drum raft

Through a cyclone in my ear drums

You don't want a tyrant, we're sure
You'd prefer civil war
And I am gonna lose my skin
And I ain't gonna see you again


Again

I... I would love to see you again
I... I would love to see you again
