[Verse 1]
Will you use up this precious day?
Use it up and just walk away
'Cause when I met you a song came out
I captured it to make it stay

[Verse 2]
It gave way to a dream about
People walkin' round in crowds like clouds
In a cumulus of hidden thought
They captured me with all their hearts

[Chorus]
I want this song for you
To ride on the airwaves, jump up off the staves and be
Radioactive, radioactive, radioactive, radioactive, radioactive

[Verse 3]
Just a piece of paper and a pen
Going back to pictures like cavemen
Preserve it so it won't dry out
We captured it for now and when
Fighting chaos with a thought-out plan
But chaos is where we all began, all began

[Chorus]
I want this song for you
To ride on the airwaves, jump up off the staves and be
Radioactive, radioactive, radioactive, radioactive, radioactive
Radioactive, radioactive, radioactive, radioactive, radioactive
