Late night goodbye to everything

Like Sagan, saying I got billions and billions

Stars in the building 

Like Reagan, making pagans think I might just send payloads their way

As a first instinct

Without due provocation

At the end of that fateful day, the operator was at the back gate

When the call came

I was high on the cocaine

My whole reign marked by nuke rain

Leaving permanent marks on the landscape

No one escaped, the land’s all razed,

And nothing can be raised on the brittle, irradiated hay.
