I Only Have Rads For You - Full Version

[Intro – Slow, dreamy electric piano chords. Irving's deep bass sets a slow, repeating rhythm.] [Irving's Bass]( My dear... The night...) Verse 1 [Deacon - Smooth Crooner Lead] My mind might wander, my memory's hazy and strange, I forget where the safe doors were, I forget the date change. But when you walk into the room, a sight I can't deny, I only have rads for you, dear, and the green glow in your eye. Verse 2 [Barium's high falsetto enters with soft, unsettling harmonies] My dearest, you are shining, not a star up in the sky, But with skin so tight and peeling, how can a Ghoul deny? The air is thick with dust now, and the world is black and blue, But darling, I only have rads for you. [Bridge – Tempo builds slightly, C.J. adds rhythmic shoop-shoop.] [Deacon - Passionate, building volume] Other couples dance and drink Nuka-Cola clear, But we just hold hands closely and whisper in the fear... That one day the rot takes us, and we crumble into sand, But 'til then, let's keep glowing, the best in this cursed land! Chorus [Full Group Harmony Five-man Quintet - Lush, but with a slight vocal decay effect] (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop,) I only have rads for you... (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop,) No flesh on me, it's true... I'm just a smooth-skin dreamer... [Irving's bass] ( A ghoul just like me...) I only have rads for you, dear, and the green glow I see! Verse 3 (Deacon - Smooth Crooner Lead, slightly faster tempo than V1) We hear those Wasteland rumors, 'bout a cure that you could take, To fix the melting faces, for goodness gracious sake. But why would I want smooth skin? Why would I go back to that plight? When your rotting touch keeps me warm through the cold, cold night? Let them search for the antidote, let them keep their false ideal, Our love is forever, darling, it's perfectly unreal. [Bridge 2 – The Emotional Climax. Instrumental focus on Barium’s high, eerie falsetto] [Deacon - Intense, almost pleading] And when that Atom Bomb finally drops again, just for us two, And we're the last ones standing, who's gonna see us through? [Barium's Falsetto wail holds a long note, trembling] (Ooooh-ah-ah-ah... Nobody cares but me!) So let's find that old jukebox and spend one last eternity... Chorus [Full Group Harmony - Max power and emotion] (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop,) I only have rads for you... (Doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop, doo-wop,) No flesh on me, it's true... I'm just a smooth-skin dreamer... [Irving's bass] ( A ghoul just like me...) I only have rads for you, dear, and the green glow I see! [Outro – Slow fade. Piano and Irving’s Bass only.] [Irving's Bass} Only rads... for you... {Deacon, whispered) Through the green glow... [C.J., final snap] ...True. [Silence]
