EVERY NOW AND THEN

- I´VE GOT TO THINK AGAIN

OF TIMES WHEN LIFE

WAS EASY LIKE A GAME

EVERA NOW AND THEN

- WITH NOTHING MUCH

LEFT TO RETAIN

I KNOW THAT IT WILL

NEVER BE THE SAME

- NEVERMORE THE SAME



SINCE IT BURNED,

BURNED DOWN AND NEVER STOPPED

BACK THEN IN APRIL 19866

STILL IT BURNS,

HOW WILL IT EVER STOP

IF ALL OUR HOUSE

IS BUILT OF NUCLEAR BRICKS



EVERY NOW AND THEN

- I FEEL IT AGAIN

MY EYES LOOK DOWN

SO PARALIZED WITH SHAME

EVERY NOW AND THEN

- SOME TEARS OF FEAR

I CAN´T RESTAIN

COULD WE HAVE ALREADY LOST THE GAME?



CAUSE IT BURNED, BURNED DOWN

AND NEVER STOPPED

BACK THEN IN APRIL 1986

STILL IT BURNS,

HOW WILL WE EVER STOP

OUR BOAT THAT´S DRIFTIN´

DOWNSTREAM ON THE STYX



AND IT BURNED

BURNED DOWN AND NEVER STOPPED

BACK THEN IN APRIL 1986

STILL IT BURNS

HOW WILL IT EVER STOP

IF WE IGNORE

THE BOMB´S INCREASIN´ TICK
