Lyrics

NUCLEAR WINTER

VERSE
I watch the northern sky, I watch it every night
I?m alone in the silo just waiting and I don?t know why
I try and understand, I do the best I can
But I?ll never be ready and it makes me feel crazy inside

B VERSE
There?s something that?s going on,
I get a feeling it won?t be long
Till the world is wound up so tight, it?s ready to break

CHORUS
So I hold my breath cause I don?t want a nuclear winter
Where it?s more than cold and the nighttime never ends
And I close my eyes cause I don?t want a nuclear winter
Don?t want a nuclear winter, don?t want a nuclear winter

VERSE
I read the morning news, I can?t believe it?s true
When the left says their right and the right thinks the left is to blame
I watch their anger grow, what if they lose control
All I know is that things get a little bit worse every day

B VERSE
There?s something that?s going on,
I get a feeling it won?t be long
Till the world is wound up so tight, it?s ready to break

CHORUS
So I hold my breath cause I don?t want a nuclear winter
Where it?s more than cold and the nighttime never ends
And I close my eyes cause I don?t want a nuclear winter
Don?t want a nuclear winter, don?t want a nuclear winter

BRIDGE
I don?t ever want to free the fire that burns bright as the sun
I don?t ever want to see the day when I every thing I know is done

CHORUS
So I hold my breath cause I don?t want a nuclear winter
Where it?s more than cold and the nighttime never ends
And I close my eyes cause I don?t want a nuclear winter
Don?t want a nuclear winter, don?t want a nuclear winter
