Draw your firearm, and I’ll put down my guard
Send me curses, and I’ll serve you lucky charms
Set me off, but I will never put you on, because my…
My heart’s beating strong
I’ve got an atomic heart that’s a-burstin’ with love
Yes, a semi-automatic kind of feeling from above
Oh, a nuclear ticker in the cage of my chest going off
Vamp your violence, and I’ll play you some peace
Steal my coat, and I’ll lend you my tee
Breach my honor, and I’ll solder up them holes
And still my…
My heart’s beating strong
I’ve got an atomic heart that’s a-burstin’ with love
Yes, a semi-automatic kind of feeling from above
Oh, a nuclear ticker in the cage of my chest going off

Strike with your left, and I’ll hand you my right
St-stone me down, and I’ll get you real high
Push all my buttons, and I’ll sing you a song
Because my…
My heart’s singing strong
I’ve got an atomic heart that’s a-burstin’ with love
Yes, a fully-automatic kind of feeling from above
Oh, a nuclear ticker in the cage of my chest going off
Ooo, ooo, ooo… yeah!
