Los Alamos Lyrics - Yello

make a pair of wings for his head 

On top of which his hands fold in a clasp 

He looks like Spencer Tracy now 

For forty years then Harold Agnews' life tracked the atomic age 

From Chicago to Los Alamos to Hiroshima to Los Alamos to Lascala (?) 

If King Kong, eliciting an audience's sympathies by representing 

a force taken out of nature and abused 

The innocent atom wore a gorilla suit 

King is less troubled by capsules in his land 

Than by a rabid skunk in the area that might have threatened his children 

And by a raccoon that commandeers the basketball backboard over the 

garage and will not back off 

Well anyway, we put the stuff together the next morning 

And it looked as if the thing was going to go critical 

Then Fermet says "Let's go have lunch." 

So we started it all up again in the afternoon 

And it went critical, and that was that 

Some men no doubt, will, before sleep, consider one thought: 

"I am alone." 

But some, in the mercy of God or booze, do not 

Long stare at the dark ceiling 

Nixon's office is much hotter now 

The air-conditioning is missed 

Outside, an early fourth-of-July celebration 

Has set off a brief volley of Chinese firecrackers 

By nightfall, the East River will be ablaze with rockets 

Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in the atomic age 

If they do not die because of it 

Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in the atomic age 

If they do not die because of it 

Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in the atomic age 

If they do not die because of it 

Those born in the atomic age will most likely die in the atomic age 

If they do not die because of it
