[Verse 1]
F# E F#
Selfless man slip by my side
E F#
Uttering words about the turning tide, and
E F#
She slowly furnishes my continuous ride
E F#
Towards insanitary bits of hide
E F#
Hair quite long and lavender-dyed
E F#
Split nostrils are green open wide
E F#
Velvet breasts with crimson legs astride
E F#
Uttering words about a turning tide
E F#
And she asks me can I ever provide
B F#
Transparent radiation
E F#
Transparent radiation
B F#
Oh, radiation
E F#
Transparent radiation
[Instrumental]
F# E F# E F#
[Verse 2]
F# E F#
My liquid head open to the rain
E F#
I walk through a bushel and a peck of grain
E F#
I hear in my ear a hurricane
E F#
And speak to the man about a train
E F#
Touch with my hand an aeroplane
E F#
Eyes wide open on the coast of Maine
E F#
Red signs outside which I contain
E F#
Some sensuality that I can't explain, ah
E F#
Some sensuality that I can't explain
B F#
Transparent radiation
E F#
Transparent radiation
B F#
Oh, radiation
E F#
Transparent radiation
[Instrumental]
F# E F# E F#
[Verse 3]
F# E F#
Tables bearing the fruits of Lent
E F#
Styrofoam people quite violent
E F#
Clear light blowing right out of my tent
E F#
Ozone over our continent
E F#
Expert men not knowing what they meant
E F#
They all eat babies for nourishment
E F#
Funny bird with her forehead bent
E F#
Slogans tell me that I can rent
E F#
Ah, yes they tell me that I can rent
B F#
Transparent radiation
E F#
Transparent radiation
B F#
Oh, radiation
E F#
Transparent radiation
