| If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm | |
| I said on the first occasion that I met Marie | |
| We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door | |
| And I don't think that she really thought that much of me | |
| I never had to learn to love her like I learned to love the Bomb | |
| She just came along and started to ignore me | |
| But as we waited for the Big One | |
| I started singing her my songs | |
| And I think she started feeling something for me | |
| We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring inside | |
| What five letters spell "apocalypse" she asked me | |
| I won her over saying "W.W.I.I.I." | |
| She smiled and we both knew that she'd misjudged me | |
| Oh Marie it was so easy to fall in love with you | |
| It felt almost like a home of sorts or something | |
| And you would keep the warhead missile silo good as new | |
| And I'd watch you with my thumb above the button | |
| Then one night you found me in my army issue cot | |
| And you told me of your flash of inspiration | |
| You said fusion was the broken heart that's lonely's only thought | |
| And all night long you drove me wild with your equations | |
| Oh Marie do you remember all the time we used to take | |
| We'd make our love and then ransack the rations | |
| I think about you leaving now and the avalanche cascades | |
| And my eyes get washed away in chain reactions | |
| Oh Marie if you would stay then we could stick pins in the map | |
| Of all the places where you thought that love would be found | |
| But I would only need one pin to show where my heart's at | |
| In a top secret location three hundred feet under the ground | |
| We could hold each other close and stay up every night | |
| Looking up into the dark like it's the night sky | |
| And pretend this giant missile is an old oak tree instead | |
| And carve our name in hearts into the warhead | |
| Oh Marie there's something tells me things just won't work out above | |
| That our love would live a half-life on the surface | |
| So at night while you are sleeping | |
| I hold you closer just because | |
| As our time grows short I get a little nervous | |
| I think about the Big One, W.W.I.I.I. | |
| Would we ever really care the world had ended | |
| You could hold me here forever like you're holding me tonight | |
| I look at that great big red button and I'm tempted |
