The Buttertones
Madame Supreme
On the mushroom cloud
Hot ash and disarray
Placed his soul in her pocket
Waved goodbye to the horizon
One lily-pad to another
He scarped
While resting the dogs
An unwavering glimmer
Stabbed his eye
She was brighter than any sun
He could ever have imagined
The sparks burned his lids
And his hands scabbed over
"No don't dare get up"
(Silver whisper)
"You sit there and watch me
Melt the sorrow from your heart"
[Chorus]
Light all the candles, light all the candles
And chant
For Madame Supreme
Light all the candles, light all the candles
And chant
For Madame Supreme
Ain't no stop for the doomsday clock
Keep runnin' from the fallout
Race to the top just to brace for the drop
Keep runnin' from the fallout
"Better to come out clean", says Supreme
While stroking her hair
"Far away I came to die alone
Again and again"
"Well you came to the right place
Take my hand and escape
Your end of day"
[Chorus]
Light all the candles, light all the candles
And sing
For Madame Supreme
Light all the candles, light all the candles
And sing
For Madame Supreme
Ain't no stop for the doomsday clock
Keep runnin' from the fallout
Race to the top just to brace for the drop
Keep runnin' from the fallout
Light all the candles, light all the candles
And scream
For Madame Supreme
Light all the candles, light all the candles
And scream
For Madame Supreme
Race to the top just to brace for the drop
Keep runnin' from the fallout
Ain't no stop for the doomsday clock
Keep runnin' from the fallout
