Kiss Me Through The Fallout

[Intro – softly spoken, with a sly smile] Careful now, sugar… the air’s a little warm tonight. But I don’t mind a little glow if it’s comin’ from you. --- [Verse 1] The sky’s been painted silver, The moon’s a tangerine, The streets are full of shadows, Where people used to dream. But here in this old shelter, With your hand pressed to mine, I feel that post-atomic spark, And baby, it feels fine. --- [Chorus] So kiss me through the fallout, Let the world dissolve away, If tomorrow never finds us, We still had tonight to stay. Your lips taste like forever, Even if it won’t last, So kiss me through the fallout, Before the moment’s passed. --- [Verse 2] Outside it’s rainin’ starlight, And thunder hums our tune, The Geiger hum’s a rhythm, Our hearts can croon in tune. So don’t you fear the warning signs, Or what the papers said, We’ll write our names in glowing ink, Where angels fear to tread. --- [Chorus – reprise] Oh, kiss me through the fallout, Hold me till we fade to gray, If the world keeps turnin’ toxic, I’ll still love you that way. One last dance, one last heartbeat, Beneath this golden haze, So kiss me through the fallout, Till we burn away in rays. --- [Outro – whispered, fading into record hiss] Mmm… if this is the end, Then baby… it’s beautiful.
