[Sample: heartbeat, geiger counter clicks] [Spoken sample - radio announcer] Tonight... it detects her. [Instrumental - dusty breakbeat drops, chopped 1950s girl-group fragments, swirling strings from an old soundtrack LP, geiger clicks looped as percussion] [Verse 1 - smooth male doo-wop croon over the breakbeat] She walked in glowing like a neon sign Prettiest fallout I ever did find My counter started clicking, one-two-three Baby's radioactive — radioactively into me [Pre-chorus - stacked vocal chops, strings swelling] Click... click... click... click... The needle's in the red, doctor, turn it up [Chorus - sunny layered sample-collage hook, doo-wop harmonies over big dusty drums] Geiger counter girl, you make my heart go Click-click-click-click — BOOM Geiger counter girl, you light up the room Half-life of forever, honey, me and you Geiger counter girl, tick-tick-boom [Spoken sample - flirty girl giggling] Is that your heart clicking... or mine? [Instrumental - collage breakdown: geiger percussion solo, chopped giggle looped, muted trumpet fragment, vinyl crackle] [Verse 2] Daddy says the dial don't lie Ninety-nine roentgens when she walks by The scientists are baffled, the preacher's confused Somebody call the lab — I got nothing to lose [Chorus - bigger, denser collage, horn stabs answering every line] Geiger counter girl, you make my heart go Click-click-click-click — BOOM Geiger counter girl, you light up the room Half-life of forever, honey, me and you Geiger counter girl, tick-tick-boom [Outro - collage dissolves, heartbeat slows, clicks fade into crackle]
