From 1973's Countdown To Ecstasy. 'The grimly humorous lyric describes a survivor of a nuclear holocaust holed up for safety, re-eading bad news in 'last years papers' and trying to contact others via an old radio with intent to drive 'through the ruins of Santa Fe.' As so often with this band this seems closer to the pages of J.G.Ballard and Thomas Pynchon or Borges than the records of contemporaries like J.Geils Band or The Doobie Brothers.
