Enola Gay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He didn't give you that nickname
But you smile when he calls you Enola Gay
Turns the lights down low for your migraines
And fetches what you strew
All around your room, up and down the hall
Asking for your Sodium Pentathol
So you can read aloud from your big tell-all
Anecdotes and platitudes

[Chorus]
This world's mean, getting meaner too
So, why'd you have to make it all about you?
There's no harm in stepping to the side
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
The wind's pissed off and the sun's at large
Know what you gotta do, it's just a matter of pride
Till you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind

[Verse 2]
Been working all day in the control room
Mashing Charles Manson songs up with Showtunes
The feelings come quick but they leave as soon
Like music from a passing car
It's crowded in the club where you meet your friends
I'm tryin' to save some room for the elephant
Every day's a chore and you're not done yet
You didn't think it'd be this hard

[Chorus]
The road's begun, we're a nervous crew
So, why're you trying to make it all about you?
It's not so bad, it's just a flash of light
Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark
The rain's upset, it just falls apart
You will get your wish, it's just a matter of time
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind
Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight
