I watch the northern sky
I watch it every night
I'm alone in the silo
I'm waiting and I don't know why
I try and understand
I do the best I can
But I'll never be ready
And it makes me feel crazy inside
There's somethin' that's goin' on
I get a feelin' it won't be long
'Til the world is wound up so tight
It's ready to break
So I hold my breath 'cause I don't want a nuclear winter
Where it's more than cold and the nighttime never ends
And I close my eyes 'cause I don't want a nuclear winter
Don't want a nuclear winter
Don't want a nuclear winter

I read the morning news, I can't believe it's true
When the left says they're right and the right thinks the left is to blame
I watch their anger grow, but if they lose control
All I know is that things get a little bit worse everyday
There's somethin' that's goin' on
I get a feeling it won't be long
'Til the world is wound up so tight
It's ready to break
So I hold my breath 'cause I don't want a nuclear winter
Where it's more than cold and the nighttime never ends
And I close my eyes 'cause I don't want a nuclear winter
Don't want a nuclear winter
Don't want a nuclear winter

I will never wanna see the fire
That burned bright as the sun
I will never wanna see the day
When everything I know is gone
Gone

So I hold my breath 'cause I don't want a nuclear winter
