Love Is a Nuclear War (Pre-TV Girl)

[Verse 1]
San Francisco is too far, I know
Your postcards never made it home
You kept moving to stay alive
Said that if you didn't run you would rust and die
Keep them in line
And they'll pick you up
And one by one to the delivery truck
Where you'll be picked up from a tree
And there your color shifts from red to green

[Chorus]
I heighten my low just to lighten my love
I stare at the moon at night so I don't feel so alone
Your love is like a nuclear war
Each day gets worse than the day before

[Verse 2]
Someone still loves you, or so you hope
You don't know what to think
So you do as your told
The artsy kids are dropping out of school
Cause struggling arts got no time to lose
Static at night,just dress them up as dreams
Take a closer look to see things aren't as they seem
What the television says is probably right
The grass is greener on the other

[Chorus]
I heighten my low just to lighten my love
I stare at the moon at night so I don't feel so alone
Your love is like a nuclear war
Each day gets worse than the day before

[Outro]
I heighten my low just to lighten my love
I stare at the moon at night so I don't feel so alone
Your love is like a nuclear war
Each day gets worse than the day before
