Mechanic breath fogs chrome intake throat
Wrench bites deep on nitrous feed line
Teen runner frames the rusted boat
Shutter snaps the zone's cruel design
Blue flame waits for ignition spark
Bridge holds weight of contaminated dark
Mechanic prays to pressure gauge
Teen runner steals the atomic age
Mist clings low on cable stay wire
Dosimeter reads three-sixty rem
Engine coughs on enriched air-fire
Camera lens captures condemn
Blue flame waits for ignition spark
Bridge holds weight of contaminated dark
Mechanic prays to pressure gauge
Teen runner steals the atomic age
Valves exhale condensed nitrogen cloud
Turbo spools on borrowed half-life time
Runner's film holds what's not allowed
Silver halide drinks the zone's crime
Blue flame waits for ignition spark
Bridge holds weight of contaminated dark
Mechanic prays to pressure gauge
Teen runner steals the atomic age
Needle climbs the redline arc
Shutter clicks match Geiger spark
Two machines and one mortal part
All aligned to tear apart
Ignition cuts the mist in two
Blue flame roars through turbine throat
Runner's last frame catches breakthrough
Zone surrenders what it wrote
Blue flame burns through ignition spark
Bridge shakes off contaminated dark
Mechanic reads the pressure gauge
Teen runner owns the atomic age
Blue flame writes on radioactive page
Blue flame writes on radioactive page
