The Eastside Hymns - Radium Girls Lyrics

The radium girls they want titanium boys
Now the numbers on my watch they never glowed brighter
I know that it's time I start to hold you tighter
My radium girl yes I'll be your uranium toy
We're off quick to the wedding cause the cancer is spreading
And your skin is turning more blue than my heart it's true

Look how they emptied the stadium
Cause my baby's covered in radium

Radium girls wither away like their geranium curls
I check the time on my Ingersoll pray you're still singing songs
Shine like a diamond your eyes burn through the night
My radium girl swinging her hips all in a nuclear twirl
She hands me my pocket watch blinding hot to the touch
These minutes our last
The dosimeter shakes

Look how they emptied the stadium
Cause my baby's covered in radium
Thousands fled screaming from the stadium
Now everyone's covered in radium
