lyrics

Radiation makes my tooth hurt
And I pull on it daily
Like the mother and her mother
Help me to get shakey
And I don’t want to be here right

Radiation is a station
Playing sad songs bout trains
While two lovers shooting foxes
Let the radio play
And I don’t want to go home right now

Radiation tells me nothing
But it’s got a lot to say
Like a white tail, in the rear view
When it gets in the way
And I don’t want to be here right now

Radiation is a mortgage
With a 10-year fixed rate
So I’m throwing silver dollars
Off the Empire State
And I don’t want to go home right now

Radiation gets us nowhere
Except in the lost and found
Bearing the glaring
Of the man that stares you down
And I don’t want to be here right now

Radiation tries to get ya
And it burns where it hits
So you’re looking like a boxer
Sliced open eyelids
And I don’t want to go home right now

Radiation is a barroom
With a two dollar special
So I buy one for me
And three for the devil
And I pour out another amen
