Unused lyrics from lyric sheet: ...And there in the dawn of the nuclear twilight In the heart of the glowing city She stood Pen in hand
Lalalalalalala Lalalalalala Lalalalalalala Lalalalalala Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout order Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout Yale There is no more Yale (yaaaaaa!) There is no more order (yaaaaaay!)
I was out on the river And in the darkness before me In the light of the domed city I saw Rose Lightning Rose She wasn't perfect But she was semi-perfect And she remembered all about her days in Yale Before they turned it into a sheet Of radio-active glass Thirty miles across
And I always used to want to think if we could sing Loudly enough If we could sing strong enough And if we could sing Hopefully enough Then all of this madness would disappear And if we could sing Long enough If we could sing strong enough And if we could sing true enough It might carry us through next year
Go and find Rose and ask about nuclear Go and find Rose and ask her "What now?" She'll tell you 'bout future She'll tell you 'bout how to live beyond the pale
When the time comes...seize it When the dream starts....believe in it When the light shines...oh, bathe in it
And now we'll have to be Strong enough Have to work long enough And if we believe True enough Then much of this madness'll disappear
I'll be the one She said I'll be the only one In the aftermath of atomic fire I'll carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala Lalalalalala Lalalalala
Unused lyrics from lyric sheet: What if the world was turned around What if nuclear plants worked What if nuclear bombs didn't What if they held nuclear disarmament Talks in Antarctica instead of Switzerland (In igloos, not fancy hotels!) They'd be Over and done In six hours, and be on their way home Imagine, the light And imagined that Rose was here tonight And there in her eyes Was a reason to live A reason to fight A reason to die It scared me....it elevated me I would do things for her That I wouldn't do for my mother My country My lover Tis of thee I sing Sweet girl of liberty
