[Verse 1]
Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha, words can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play
They're gonna end in more than tears someday
Ah-ha, Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
[Chorus]
It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Bridge]
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of Little Boy today?
Ah-ha, this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Verse 2]
Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Ah-ha, Enola Gay
It shouldn't fade our dreams away
[Chorus]
It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home
[Outro]
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of Little Boy today?
Ah-ha, this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away
