Enola Gay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He didn't give you that nickname But you smile when he calls you Enola Gay Turns the lights down low for your migraines And fetches what you strew All around your room, up and down the hall Asking for your Sodium Pentathol So you can read aloud from your big tell-all Anecdotes and platitudes [Chorus] This world's mean, getting meaner too So, why'd you have to make it all about you? There's no harm in stepping to the side Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark The wind's pissed off and the sun's at large Know what you gotta do, it's just a matter of pride Till you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind [Verse 2] Been working all day in the control room Mashing Charles Manson songs up with Showtunes The feelings come quick but they leave as soon Like music from a passing car It's crowded in the club where you meet your friends I'm tryin' to save some room for the elephant Every day's a chore and you're not done yet You didn't think it'd be this hard [Chorus] The road's begun, we're a nervous crew So, why're you trying to make it all about you? It's not so bad, it's just a flash of light Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark The rain's upset, it just falls apart You will get your wish, it's just a matter of time Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight
