We met first in cafes, and later in ruins.
My best friend and I are saying goodbye in Hiroshima.
We walked down the tarmac, again grey on grey.
My sweetheart and I are saying goodbye to Hiroshima.
I was an architect, she was an actress.
I drew the Eiffel Tower upon her dress.
So we could see the world...
The flash burnt our shadows right into the wall.
But my best friend and I will leave them behind in Hiroshima.
I will keep her secrets, I will change my name.
My sweetheart and I are saying goodbye to Hiroshima.
I was an architect, she was an actress.
I drew the Eiffel Tower upon her dress.
So we could see the world...
(The songs we sung and then forgot.
The hearts that would burn and the hearts that would not.)
And the saint in the tower, died for her sins not ours.
All of this snow just made us glow in the dark.
La La La La.
From the boy in the bubble, to a w**** in the rubble.
All of this snow just made us glow in the dark.
La La La La.
All of this snow just made us glow in the dark.
