If I could hold
Hold out for now
With these icecaps melting down
With the transistor sound
And my Chevrolet terraplane
Going around around around

Come on little gamma ray
Standing in a hurricane

Your brains are bored like a refugee from a house that′s burning
And the heat wave′s calling your name
She′s got a cactus crown
With a dot dot dot on her brow
And she speaks inside a cloud
With her countenance turning around

It hit me like a gamma ray
Standing in a hurricane

I′m pulling out thorns
Smokestack lightning out my window
I want to know what I′ve lost today

Come on little gamma ray
Standing in a hurricane

Your body′s bored
Like a refugee from a house that′s burning
And the backwater′s calling your name
