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 and'bout order
go and find rose and ask her and'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 wasnand'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
Lalalalalalala
lalalalalala
lalalalalalala
lalalalalala
Go and find rose and ask about nuclear
go and find rose and ask her andquot;what now?andquot;
sheand'll tell you and'bout future
sheand'll tell you and'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 weand'll have to be
strong enough
have to work long enough
and if we believe
true enough
then much of this madnessand'll disappear
Iand'll be the one
she said
iand'll be the only one
in the aftermath of atomic fire
iand'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 didnand't
what if they held nuclear disarmament
talks in antarctica instead of switzerland
(in igloos, not fancy hotels!) theyand'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 wouldnand't do for my mother
my country
my lover
tis of thee
i sing
sweet girl of liberty
sweet bird of freedom
