Made Me Nuclear

written by: Charlie Lustman

Come on in sit down she said - have you ever seen this bed
No it’s really strange - it looks like a space age dream
Well don’t be scared it won’t take long
we can play your favorite songs -
just relax and close your eyes

Well it sounded like a machine gun - wasn’t even close to fun
Had my arms above my head like they arrested me
Now it’s time to take some more -
doctors need more to explore
Come this way inside my room

And they shot me - made me nuclear
And they told me it would make me glow
Yes they proudly radiated me -
wanna see right through my bones

Took me down a hallway floor -
looked just like a psycho ward
Underneath the hospital like a bomb shelter
And there I was in a movie scene -
right in front of a time machine
H.G. Wells would sure be proud

‘Cause they shot me - made me nuclear
And they told me it would make me glow
Yes they proudly radiated me -
wanna see right through my bones

And when they looked at the photographs of the alien
Well it was plain to see the stranger inside me was following me

So they sent me back to go - back into my civil clothes
And they told me stay away from your lovely wife
Yes they put me through the scans -
now I’m a sub atomic man
I’m a human mobile phone

Cause they shot me - made me nuclear
And they told me it would make me glow
Yes they proudly radiated me
wanna see right through my bones
promised me when I got home
that I wouldn’t feel a thing they scanned
but I can light a light bulb in my hand
