Enewetak lyrics

Ah, this could have been Enewetak

Stressed, embattled, irradiated, evacuated and

Something's on in those isles a foreign power said

Ah, this could have been Enewetak

Now bathed in comet spray

So many devils were called out now cast in concrete

The land was vapor after Operation Ivy

Hydrogen megatons (Hydrogen megatons)

Medical 4.1 (Medical 4.1)

Has anyone else read H.G. Wells?

Shapes have come1 

Try to find Enewetak

They say man will bury you, but I hope 

God takes you back in his arms and says:

"Earth, air, fire and the sea:

Physics stole them all from me,

But I will try to keep Enewetak out the rising waves"

And all the mothers loved their babies 

Though they weren't like us no more

Lay out a heading for the homeworld 

Of a species on parole

Dust in the atmosphere (Dust in the atmosphere)

24,000 years (24,000 years)

A radioactive trail of tears in the sand

Ooh, yeah

Ooh, yeah
