Lyrics
My arms around you
Expressing physical closeness with someone
Ya better keep your head low
Advising to stay low for safety, possibly from impending danger
All dressed up
Being well-dressed
No place to go
Feeling trapped or having no clear direction
Make love to you all night long
Expressing a desire for intimate connection
Listen to atomic bombs
Suggesting a surreal scenario of making love while being aware of potential destruction
Hear the people scratch
People anxiously trying to enter a shelter for protection
On the shelter door
Describing the sound of people desperately seeking refuge
Leave us alone
Pleading for isolation and privacy in the shelter
Nobody lives here no more
Declaring an abandoned or deserted area
Make love to you all night long
Reiteration of the desire for intimacy despite the chaotic surroundings
Listen to atomic bombs
Re-emphasizing the awareness of potential destruction while being intimate
Safe and sound you're next to me
Feeling secure and protected with a loved one
Close the door on World War Three
Shutting out the possibility of a global conflict affecting them
Oh just kick your shoes off, sing a song
Suggesting a carefree attitude despite the looming threat
Listen to atomic bombs
Reiterating the strange act of enjoying music amid potential destruction
I've been waiting here
Waiting patiently through difficult times
Through all your fears
Enduring and supporting through someone's fears
Close your eyes and look away
Encouraging to avoid reality by closing one's eyes
Hear the bombers blast
Listening to the sound of bombers as a disturbing reality
Your times come at last
Suggesting an imminent danger or threat
So pray if you stay
Encouraging prayer as a form of solace or hope
Kick your shoes off sing a song
Reiterating carefree behavior despite the surrounding danger
Listen to atomic bombs
Re-emphasizing the surreal act of enjoying music amid potential destruction
Make love to you all night long
Expressing the desire for intimate connection during adversity
Listen to atomic bombs
Re-emphasizing the awareness of potential destruction while being intimate
