Ashes (Pocket PC Demo #2)

Sing Along!

I can still close my eyes
See that blinding light
Char the distant sky

Raining down
Ashes on this
old Nevada town

This wasn't supposed to hurt us.
we thought it looked beautiful
All that atomic love
sending us angels

My auntie's world
came crashing down
the lumps in her throat
she couldn't drown

one day my dad
couldn't stand up
shriveled to the size
of his morning cup

This wasn't supposed to hurt us.
we thought it looked beautiful
All that atomic love
sending us angels

Into the courts we came
Forcing the government's hand
We all cursed the touch
The clouds made on the sand

you killed our land
You killed our land
