Nuclear Fall out

The more I think on, the better this song fits as an end of album track.

One can properly go to town on it, with a 3 or 4 minute instrumental at the end fading into static, scuzz and looping feedback. You know, in your mind.

By my reckoning, I have only 3 more songs to go before this album is complete with its 13 tracks.

You know, for all this is clearly all nonsense, and potentially a form of psychosis, I can’t help but begin thinking as long as I don’t muck it all up with a couple of really awful ones or ones which start to not relate to my fans' alt-gothic lives, like if I was to sing about how much my bling weighs and how many women I own, this must surely be looking like one of the best non-existent albums ever to be not recorded!

Oh! And just like that, another song title has just come into my head!
My bling be so heavy (but not as heavy as all my ladies’ titties put together)

It’s good because it uses parenthesis cleverly.

Anyway, back to this song, what will be the final track on the album (always remember, there is no album):

Nuclear Fall out

Tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight I don’t recognise your face
The expression is all out of place
I can feel all my bones, organs and veins
Wish I was metal ‘n’ cogs, wouldn’t feel our pains
Wanting to move, I am numb
Wanting to speak, I am dumb
Whatever all said and done is now out
Gone have the chances to swing and to shout
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
Love replaced by hotter emotion
Minds whirr off in splendid slow-motion
Once we washed in pure soft sunshine
Clock’s minute hand now stuck at fifty-nine
Wanting to see, I am blind
Wanting the lost, I can’t find
Used to be the dance not the contest bout
Now we’re trying to win by 10 count knockout
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
We are down on our knees
We don’t heed our own pleas
Holding on broken and battered by blame
Ghosts of us destined to repeat all the same
Fond memories now are hard
We tend to visit their graveyard
We take others there for morbid days out
But at dusk gates close and we are locked out
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
We are in our own nuclear winter
So cold that heart beats will splinter
Nothing worth saying; nothing to mention
Strangling freezing iced droplets of tension
We used to find ways to forgive
Now we hate even at all that we live
Through the window we have an infatuation
With people uncontaminated by our radiation
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
We both know what this is about,
It’s a nuclear fallout
From our shelters we walk out,
To a silent fade-out
Take it away brain…
