Radiation man

Verse 1)

The doctor spoke in shadows, pointed to a spot of grey

A little patch of sun damage that wouldn't go away

They brought me to the basement where the heavy machines hum

To blast away the cancer till the damage was undone

The technician left the room and then he bolted down the door

I felt a strange vibration sinking deep into my floor.

(Chorus)

Now I’m glowing in the kitchen, I’m humming in the hall

I don’t need no lightbulbs, I’m the brightest of them all

The cancer’s gone, the cells are done, but I’ve got a brand new plan

I’m a neon-burning miracle—I’m Radiation Man!

(Verse 2)

My skin turned ultraviolet, my eyes are emerald bright

I’m a human Geiger counter walking through the dead of night

I can charge a dead cell phone just by holding it in hand

I’m the most electric resident in all the weary land

The neighbors think it’s spooky how my shadow seems to dance

But I’m feeling super-powered, given half a second chance.

(Chorus)

Yeah, I’m glowing in the kitchen, I’m humming in the hall

I don’t need no lightbulbs, I’m the brightest of them all

The cancer’s gone, the cells are done, but I’ve got a brand new plan

I’m a neon-burning miracle—I’m Radiation Man!

(Bridge)

From a tiny speck of worry to a core that’s burning hot

I’m the hero of the clinic, the one they all forgot

The lead-lined walls couldn't hold the fire in my veins

I’ve traded in my bandages for static-charged reins.

(Outro)

So if you see a flicker in the corner of your eye

Or a man who looks like lightning beneath a summer sky

Don’t be scared of the shimmer, or the way my fingers scan

I’m just a survivor... I’m Radiation Man.

(Fades out with a low electronic hum)
