[Intro – piano bounce + finger snaps] Well hey there mister, don’t you stare Just a little glow in the desert air [Verse 1] Picked up a stone by the canyon bend Shined so bright I called it a friend Pocket got warm but I didn’t care Thought I struck gold out there [Pre-Chorus] Doc said “son that ain’t no prize” I said “Doc you worry too much sometimes” [Chorus – catchy, bouncy] I got that yellowcake fever, swingin’ in my soul Little bit of sunshine that I can’t control Glowin’ in the moonlight, brighter every day If this is trouble, I’ll just dance my cares away [Verse 2] Bought me a hat and a Cadillac Folks all whisper when I walk past Skin’s a little pale, but I feel just fine Just a little sparkle in my spine [Pre-Chorus] Hear that tickin’? that’s just charm Ain’t no need to raise alarm [Chorus] I got that yellowcake fever, honey don’t you see Ain’t no cure but it sure feels good to me Half-life lovin’, never gonna fade Me and my glow in a neon parade [Bridge – playful slow-down] Now the town packed up and they headed west Said my front porch failed the safety test But I just waved with a crooked grin “Y’all come back now… if you can handle this skin” [Break – swing solo] (piano riff + bass walk) [Verse 3] Mirror says I’m lookin’ strange But I call it a little style change If the world’s gonna end someday Might as well go out this way [Final Chorus – big, joyful] I got that yellowcake fever, burnin’ nice and slow Got a glow so bright it puts on a show Laughin’ at the fallout, tappin’ both my feet End of the world never sounded so sweet [Outro – cheeky] So if you see me lightin’ up the night Don’t be scared, I’m doin’ alright Just a little man with a radiant dream…
