A love that consumed me, turned my heart to debris

The fallout's spreading, tearing us apart,
The clicking of the Geiger counter's going off

With Geiger counters to check

And for his distant keys he's fumblin'

Workin' every day and not a-gettin' much pay
I got a big Geiger counter, it's a pretty good rig

You can hear the counter clicking faster as I move the sample closer to the counter

And it lit up the dawn, then it lit up Japan
