lyrics

I never did that well in physics class
And chemistry just left me confused
But I can see your eyes are smokin’
And your words are turning into one long fuse

So I guess I’ll say goodbye
Before you blow our roof to the sky
And I’ll just step aside
As your atoms divide
In the bomb that used to be you

You said your hero was Einstein
You’re sure glad he won that Nobel Prize
And I wanted was to just talk to you
But you said your secrets were classified

So I guess I’ll walk out that door
Before we don’t have one anymore
And the fans all grab their chairs
For this fireworks affair
Called the bomb that used to be you

When we talk about our prospects
You keep sayin’ Manhattan Project (woo!)

So I guess I’ll drive away
In my car you call Enola Gay
You used to be used to being
Used to being used
The bomb that used to be you

When I’m asked about our past
I guess I’ll say it was a blast
With the bomb that used to be you
