Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Enola Gay

Enola Gay,

you should have stayed at home yesterday.

Aha, words can’t describe

the feeling and the way you lied.

These games you play,

they’re gonna end in more than tears someday.

Aha, Enola Gay,

it shouldn’t ever have to end this way.

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.

Enola Gay,

is mother proud of Little Boy today?

Aha, this kiss you give,

it’s never ever gonna fade away.

Enola Gay,

it shouldn’t ever have to end this way.

Aha, Enola Gay,

it shouldn’t fade in our dreams away.

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.

Enola Gay,

is mother proud of Little Boy today?

Aha, this kiss you give,

it’s never ever gonna fade away.
