(I don't pretend to fully know what the heck this poem/song even means; my muse is probably on ludes and reading too much Nietzsche or something...) Atomic War Tea kettle's on atomic war rages outside, outside of you + me ragged country songs haven't heard in ages under the covers, comfort me Baby maybe you can reach over me and grab the remaining sunlight I'm just too tired right now and can you tell me the ashes of war I breathe in tonight will ease my weary brow let me sink into you let me go blue into the light you've archived in the vaults under your skin inside, inside the swelling sea come on bury me alive underneath your cherry grin and I will set your worry free over little ol' me Baby red lady with the apple green eyes you pull the love out of me and let it fly down these jagged streets it flies a butterfly for the first time flying free there, but for the grace of atomic war, go I Girl Pretty like a distant world setting my body down on you to claim the remaining moonlight but I seem to be too much in awe so can you uncover the blue forgetting the atomic war tonight guess I'm forgetting it all let you sink into me let you go on freely into the darkness I've hid in the graves under my skin inside, outside these burning trees come on lift my lid look inside the distant din and I will set afire your leaves and your soul at ease It's shady and baby the red lady with apple green eyes pulling the love out of me stop the time take me down the list of lives we've forgotten to live like busy bees in rays of sunshine but atomic war takes you and leaves you warm for the blurring form of your lover in the storm of ashes and lost fireflies too hazy to see your eyes too crazy on the ragged shore a helpless lovesick victim of atomic war hooray for our side already till we're good and dead, she looks for what's left for us finding just mixed emotions among the dust Among the dust... among the dust... one of us.... you + me "I'm the soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round, you see" -- Lindsey Buckingham, 'Soul Drifter' |

Zach, there were lots of good lines in this. I'd keep listening to that muse! I liked the analogies, too. |

Great Job, I wanted to pick a favorite line but it is too hard, there are just so many! |
