about

Written at a picnic somewhere in Marin County in 1981.

lyrics

I was sitting on the beach
Reading my book
The alarm went off
And I took a look
I looked up in the sky so far
Saw some missiles coming from the USSR

I started to remember what a man had said
Life is much better after you're dead
I thought a moment that he might be wrong
The next thing I knew everyone was gone

I don't see how this could be
Radiation don't affect me
I really wish I could choose
Between death and the radiation blues

I took a look back in the sky
Told myself boy it is time to die
So I jumped off the nearest bridge
Much to my dismay
I lived
Much to my dismay

I'm the last man on the earth
Somebody tell me what am I worth?
I really wish I could choose
Between death and the radiation blues

The radiation blues keep haunting me
I love to look at the deep green sea
I talk to dead people - they're still statues
I'm really sick of these radiation blues
