Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Oho it can't describe the feeling and the way you lied
These games you play, they're gonna end it all in tears someday

Oho Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15, 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
Oho, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away
Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way

Oho Enola Gay, it should've faded our dreams away
It's 8:15, oh 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
Oho, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away

Enola Gay (nom de mission Dimples 82) est le nom de l'avion Boeing B-29 Superfortress qui a largué sur la ville d'Hiroshima le 6 août 1945 la première bombe atomique utilisée comme arme de guerre. La bombe avait été surnommée Little Boy. Enola Gay était un bombardier de l'U.S. Army Air Force's 509th Composite Group. Il avait pris son envol pour Hiroshima depuis Tinian, l'une des îles Mariannes. Le pilote de l'avion, le Colonel Paul Tibbets, l'avait baptisé ainsi en hommage à sa mère, Enola Gay Hazard Tibbets, pour que l'avion soit « sous une bonne étoile » dixit Tibbets.
