"A Cold War child comes of age...

lyrics

When I was just a kid late at night in the kitchen
sometimes I'd see the clock on the wall
its hands were closing in on midnight
and I don't know why but I was scared in a way I can't explain

some years later standing in my driveway
girl from down the street said there were bombs pointed at our heads
and my life changed that day, a Cold War child comes of age to find
midnight is the end of the world

Somewhere there's got to be a place
where everything is safe, where everything is fine
and who must you know to say this pace
is clearly out of place, with 59 minutes to midnight

This world's good at coming up with ways
that lead us into darker days and keep us all afraid
it's in the food we eat, the air we breath, the posturing and lies believed
and everyone who hates

Somewhere there's got to be a place
where everything is safe, where everything is fine
and who must you know to say this pace
is clearly out of place, with 59 minutes to midnight

Bring it back, turn it back
59 minutes to midnight
Bring it back, turn it back
59 minutes to midnight
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho

Somewhere there's got to be a place
where everything is safe, where everything is fine
and who must you know to say this pace
is clearly out of place, with 59 minutes to midnight

Bring it back, turn it back
59 minutes to midnight
Bring it back, turn it back
59 minutes to midnight
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho

wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
wo-ho-ho oh-oh-ho oh-ho
