If I could hold, hold out for now
with these ice caps melting down
with the transistor sound
and my chevrolet terraplane
goin' around, round, around

come a little gamma ray
standing in a hurricane
your brains are bored
like a refugee from a house that's burning
and the heat wave's calling your name

she's got on the cactus crown
with the dot dot dot on her brow
and she speaks inside a cloud
with the countenance turning around

it hit me like a gamma ray
standing in a hurricane
and i'm pulling out thorns
smokestack lightening out my window
i want to know what i've lost today

come a little gamma ray
standing in a hurricane
when your body's bored
like a refugee
from the houses burning
and the backbiters
calling your name
