Hawkwind » Damnation Alley Lyrics

(Calvert / Brock / House)
i've got the serum
and i'm going to take it
all the way to boston
oh i've got to get through
the going won't be easy
but i'm going to make it
it's the only thing
that i'm cut out to do
ride the post-atomic
radio-active trash
the sky is on fire
from that nuclear flash
diving through the burning hoop
of doom
in an 8-wheeled anti-radiation tomb.
thank you doctor strangelove
for going doolally
and leaving me the heritage
of damnation alley
damnation alley-way.

no more arizona now
phoenix is fried up
oklahoma city
what a pity it's gone.
louisianna's wiped out
and the
mississip's dried up
no more chattanooga
cherokee,
lexington.
ride the post-atomic radio-active trash.
the sky is on fire from that nuclear flash.
diving through the burning hoop of doom.
in an 8-wheeled anti-radiation tomb.
thank you doctor strangelove
for going doolally
and leaving me the heritage
of damnation alley
damnation alley-way.

craters coming at me now
ashes coming at me
radiation wasteland
i've got my anti radiation machine
oh thank you doctor strangelove
for giving me ashes and post-atomic dust
and the sky is raining fishes
it's a mutation zoo
i'm going down damnation alley
well good luck to you......
.........................
armour-plated angel
motor pony express
going down damnation alley
it's one hell of a mess
the sky is raining fishes
it's a mutation zoo
i'm going down damnation alley
well good luck to you.
