[Verse 1] She wears that yellow grin Like she knows the score A lady with a scintillating heart And a hunger for more She loves atomic fire Loves the hidden glow She asked the whole wide world for one little spark But the answer was slow [Pre-Chorus] She said, "I need that shine" "I need that buried light" She searched the maps and dusty racks And stayed up half the night [Chorus] Uranium girl Keep on trying Uranium girl You won't stop crying You want that stone You want that thrill You want the glow And you got it still Uranium girl Uranium girl [Verse 2] She dug through creekbed mud She checked each broken ore Tapped every rusty crate by the fence And still came back for more Again and again she went With her hands full of hope Each time the search fell flat in her lap But she wouldn't let go [Pre-Chorus] She said, "I need that shine" "I need that buried light" She searched the maps and dusty racks And stayed up half the night [Chorus] Uranium girl Keep on trying Uranium girl You won't stop crying You want that stone You want that thrill You want the glow And you got it still Uranium girl Uranium girl [Bridge] Then one day, there it was Heavy in her hands A little green promise from the ground Like it understood her plans She laughed right through the dust Held it up so high All those tries kept coming back Now the reason had a face [Final Chorus] Uranium girl Keep on trying Uranium girl You won't stop crying You want that stone You want that thrill You want the glow And you got it still Uranium girl Uranium girl
