Volholla Halftone Fallout

Verse 1

Sugar

The sky turned a heavy shade of lead

I saw the flashes while I lay in bed

White light

Hot dust

Falling on the roses in the yard

I find it rather hard

To breathe

Without you

Chorus

Oh it is a halftone fallout

My darling

A halftone fallout

Under the mushroom cloud

We sang so loud

Now the jukebox is melting in the sand

While the Geiger counter leads the band

Oh my darling

It is a halftone fallout

Verse 2

Cactus

Shaking like a leaf in the wind

Where does the desert end and we begin

Static

Tin cups

Rattling against the bunker door

I do not want to see the sun no more

Since the desert

Swallowed

The town

Bridge

Maybe I am dreaming

Maybe you are gone

Maybe we are ghosts before the dawn

The thrum of the wire

The hum of the fire

The ghost in the choir

Calling out your name through the reverb tank

Till the whole world goes blank

Chorus

Oh it is a halftone fallout

My darling

A halftone fallout

Under the mushroom cloud

We sang so loud

Now the jukebox is melting in the sand

While the Geiger counter leads the band

Oh my darling

It is a halftone fallout

Post-Chorus

Falling down

Falling down

Falling down

In the dust

In the rust

In the us

Outro

The ink is running on the page

A paper cage

A silent stage

Goodnight

Sweetheart

Goodnight

(Geiger clicks fade)
