The Temptation Of Adam (Accidentally Short Version)
Josh Ritter
If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm
I said on the first occasion that I met Marie
We were crawling through the hatch that was the missile silo door
And I don't think that she really thought that much of me
I never had to learn to love her like I learned to love the Bomb
She just came along and started to ignore me
But as we waited for the Big One
I started singing her my songs
And I think she started feeling something for me
We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring inside
What five letters spell apocalypse, she asked me
I won her over saying WW III
She smiled and we both knew that she'd misjudged me
