Okkervil River

When you're walking alone

In the heat of the night

And you see it's a sign of the times

When the walls that divide you

Are tumbling down

And we're stronger in body and mind



And I know at a glance

It's a prison of love

And I don't stand a chance

And you know that it's wrong

When you say it's okay

So I know where I stand



We are atomic, we are fire

Got your lightning striking me

By the hour

We are atomic

Love struggle to be

In a world without end



Do you still cry out loud

At the sound of her name

Or is she just a face in the crowd

Well, I suffered enough

In your tower of shame

But somehow

You just made me believe



And I tremble and I shake

It's so hard to escape

And it's strangling me

And the voices I hear

Are like ghosts in the night

And they're calling to me



We are atomic...



We are atomic

Love struggle to be

In a world without end



We are... love is... atomic



We are atomic

Love struggle to be

In a world without end
