Atomic Lyrics
At the end of the world, suddenly I feel alive
There's nothing in the world like a Southern California night
I always hoped that someday, everything would be all right
And now someday has arrived tonight
We're speeding through the city tonight
We'll hit this town just like a bomb
For this one moment, this world is ours
And still we're waiting, for the atomic fire
Black palm trees sway, they whisper to the purple sky
Close your eyes and feel the ghosts of Hollywood gone by
Still the dreamers come, the the dreams are left to die
Behind the lights a necropolis lies
There's nothing in the world like a Southern California night
I always hoped that someday, everything would be all right
And now someday has arrived tonight
We'll hit this town just like a bomb
For this one moment, this world is ours
And still we're waiting, for the atomic fire
Close your eyes and feel the ghosts of Hollywood gone by
Still the dreamers come, the the dreams are left to die
Behind the lights a necropolis lies
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Just wanted to correct: the last line of the chorus should go "And still we're waiting for the atomic FIRE"
and the last verse is
Black palm trees sway, they whisper to the purple sky Close your eyes and feel the ghosts of Hollywood gone by Still the dreamers come, the the dreams are left to die Behind the lights a necropolis lies
thanks for re-posting the correct lyrics
Love this song... love how they sound like AFI and the stand-up bass makes the music all the better
