Secret Machines › Lyrics › Atomic Heels

Uncover your eyes, they're bloodied enough
Whose staring back at yours
Honey, what have you missed?
You say let them go on, fighting I guess
As long as there's someplace left to visit
You're thinking of all the jobs that you could retire from

You keep telling me everything's gotta be real
You keep telling me everything's oh, so real
Why don't you lift 'em up and see
What's beneath your atomic heels?

Oh, they could lie down in fire for hours
There was a safe house close, now there's nobody there
Oh, why we go on fighting like this?
We could say maybe it's time we try something else
You're sure there's someone out there
Who knows where you're coming from

You keep thinking that everything's gotta be real
You're always telling me everything's oh, so real
Just lift up your heels

You keep telling me everything's gotta be real
You're always telling me everything's oh, so real
And now we're counting down the time crash
You know how it feels
Why don't you lift 'em up and see
What's beneath your atomic heels?
