Come with me if you�re so inclined
We�ll leave suburbia behind
We�ll hide on the side of some desert hills
And explore some supernatural thrills
On a sunny springtime afternoon
We�ll grab a snack while bombs go boom
And then we�ll wile away the ours
With alcohol and firepower
Come on my atomic picnic
Bring your shades I�ll bring champagne
In the glow of nuclear fission
You�ll never be the same again
It�s quite a sight when they�re blown up
But I�ve never seen you look so grown-up
Next to them you radiate
So give this boy next door a date and
Come on my atomic picnic
Bring sunblock I�ll bring champagne
In the glow of nuclear fission
You�ll never be the same again
I heard it from my dad but it�s top secret
That we�re falling behind the soviets
Can�t you hear Sputnik overhead
Ivan won�t stop �til we�re all red
But don�t get to scared �cause I�ll be there
To hold your hand and more � if you dare
We could be space-age pioneers
Shooting past the stratosphere
Yeah we could make some history
As we start our nuclear family so
Come on my atomic picnic
Bring your shades I�ll bring champagne
In the glow of nuclear fission
You�ll never be the same
You�re sure to come on my atomic picnic
Bring sunblock I�ll bring champagne
In the glow of nuclear fission
You�ll never be the same again �
We�ll have a blast!
