Hiroshima melting

on the million dollar set,
a little dog wagged her tail;
she went looking for the grateful dead
before they went on sale.
and i'm on the road again
to Philadelphia, USA;
i wonder where the yellow went
when i hear the preacher say,
the "Dark Star is rising!"
his flock waiting in the church.
the Boston harbor is flooding!
a canary on her perch
singing 'Yesterday!'
bells ringing in the old town square:
it's Hiroshima melting!
radiation spikes the air,
and a thousand points of random light
but does anybody care?
i'm singing for another round,
a fancy question in my head
the seas are rising to midnight,
the sky a menacing red!
every molecule pays a price
the circuit overloads!
tripping down the center lane,
i'm taking all the back roads.
