[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
If I could hold, hold out for now
But with these icecaps meltin' down
With the transistor sound
And my Chevrolet Terraplane
Goin' around, around, around

[Chorus]
Come on, little gamma ray
Standin' in a hurricane
Your brains are bored like a refugee from a house that's burnin'
And the heat wave's calling your name

[Verse 2]
She's got a cactus crown
With a dot, dot, dot on her brow
And she speaks inside a cloud
With her countenance turnin' around

[Chorus]
It hit me like a gamma ray
Standin' in a hurricane
And I'm pullin' out thorns, smokestack lightnin' out my window
I want to know what I've lost today
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Come on little gamma ray
Standin' in a hurricane
And your body's bored like a refugee from a house that's burnin'
And the backwater's callin' your name

[Instrumental Outro]
