Ground Zero
"Good evening Ladies and Gentleman.
Welcome to the Ground Zero Restaurant and Bar.
Drinks are on the house.
At midnight,
For your enjoyment
A thermonuclear device
Will be detonated in the Main Lounge.
Have a pleasant evening."
Wasted again but hey that's nothing new.
I'm all alone at a table set for two.
The wreck you left me, don't you know my heart bleeds.
Sometimes a holocaust is just what I need
At Ground Zero!
Sometimes I kick it out of bounds.
Sometimes I overdrive my car.
Sometimes I spread myself around.
Sometimes I take it way too far...
That's where the thrills are.
At Ground Zero!
I better slow down on this cheap remorse.
Don't wanna get too drunk for the main course.
The waiter asks me when my date will arrive.
No one should be alone when they're vaporized
At Ground Zero!
Sometimes I wear it on my face.
Sometimes I think I am a star.
Sometimes I rock it into space.
Sometimes I take it way too far...
That's where the thrills are.
At Ground Zero!
Looks like I go this one all on my own.
This is one special trip I'll take all alone.
The waiter asks me what I'd like for last call.
Sometimes a broken heart needs nothing at all
At Ground Zero!
Sometimes I wonder if it's real.
Sometimes I wonder if you are.
Sometimes I wonder what's the deal.
Sometimes I wonder if I took it to far...
To where the thrills are.
At Ground Zero!
Ground Zero!
