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 load

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

Causе struggling artists got no time to lose

Static at night, just dress thеm 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 load

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 load

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
