I want to be happy I want to be gay I want to be normal in every way But a mushroom cloud hangs over my dreams It haunts my future and threatens my schemes Please, please, please where did you go? I've got me a sweetheart and I love her, too We want to make big plans but what can we do? When a mushroom cloud has changed every rule It's deepened our thinking at home and at school Please, please, please where did you go? We prayed, we partied, we laughed and we pray again And we prayed, too and tried not to think of the mess we're in I cling to my baby and she clings to me We talk of the future, but what do we see? There's a mushroom cloud that hangs in the way Tomorrow looks black so we live for today Please, please, please where did you go? Please, please, please where did you go?
