(Music by Burt Bacharach, sung by Gene Pitney as 24 hours from Tulsa)
Dearest Darling you had a right to say that the earth had moved, was it war? Cause something happened to you while you were staying home And you're not the same anymore The sign said only 24 miles Fukushima Oh only a short way away from the core I saw a hideous light, an eerie glow in the night And that is where I saw you A tidal wave had dropped a small hotel and there you were And so I walked up to you Asked where I could get something to eat and you said nowhere The sign said only 24 miles Fukushima Oh only a short way away from the core The geiger went beserk it clicked madly all day I said 'no way' The sign said only 24 miles Fukushima Oh only a short way away from the core The sirens started to play and daytime turned into night Atoms were dancing, wildly All of a sudden they lost control, the core melted down The gas escaped, exploded We thought we'd die before we got out of that evil town The sign said only 24 miles Fukushima Oh only a short way away from the core Reactors do this to you Fall out kills more than a few What can they do? And you can never, never, never go home again | 24 miles Fukushima |
