- Enola Gay LyricsEnola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Oh, it can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play
They're gonna end it all in tears someday
Oh, Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15
Well, that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Condition's normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today?
Oh, this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away
Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Oh, Enola Gay
It should've faded our dreams away
It's 8:15
Well, that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Condition's normal and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today?
Oh, this kiss you give

You should have stayed at home yesterday
Oh, it can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play

Oh, Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15
Well, that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Condition's normal and you're coming home
