ATOM BOMB SHELTER SALESMAN

by thomas jefferson aeroplane

supported by

Nick Rood This album is a true depiction of being at war with yourself. This beautiful album, created in a day, to me represents a day in itself. Meaning that although darkness is imminent, you find that the sun rises quicker than you imagined it could. Atom bomb shelter salesman is rooted both in grief and in hope, and only through coming to terms with both of these feelings can we truly understand and experience what it's like to move forward past our hardships and whatever metaphorical atom bomb strikes in our lives. So don't be a stranger to ATOM BOMB SHELTER SALESMAN. :) Favorite track: nuclear winter.

Stevie This is by far my favorite TJA album to date, I can't take it off of repeat. It's absolutely fantastic, fire as fuck. Favorite track: atom bomb shelter salesman.

i won't survive the nuclear winter when you leave my side and i'm forced to face air raid sirens alone i built a new home under our old one underneath that miles of bone and stone i won't survive the impending danger when they drop the bombs i hope 33 feet of concrete is enough i'll live my life alone till the smoke clears then i'll reemerge renewed and reborn i can see the fire burning in the air i can feel the weight of everyone that cared i don't belong to my own home tried to make some money tried to make it right give you all you need to make it through the night BUSINESS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL
2.	mushroom cloud 02:15	lyrics	buy track
the mushroom cloud opened its mouth it swallowed everyone the end of days shined on my face i had nowhere to run far from the reactor core but i still felt the shock they waged wars on dirty poor and i survived by luck it felt like the 1st time i loved you when everything was new and i knew the dangers so don't be a stranger the mushroom cloud devoured us now we're at the end of days i looked out from my bunker window the sun shined on my face i couldn't leave to breathe the air the fallout was immense i bet everyone outside is dead as well as i can guess it felt like the 1st time i loved you where everything was new and i knew the dangers SO DON'T BE A STRANGER
