Under the Geiger counter
Who stole your thunder?

the Geiger counters tick

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
And the AEC has figures
But they keep them out of sight

And she hates you and your friends and you
Just can't get served without her

The Tear Garden

The Last Man to Fly

on a night of steaming sin
It's out there, somewhere
I would bet your missing shoe
And my geiger counter too
Wishing you

You know they're always
Somewhere apart

Somewhere apart
With flowers and a Geiger counter stumblin'
And for his distant keys he's fumblin'
Mule-headed

Go on and wave that Geiger-counter at me
You can hear it all slowly ebbing away
As the half life kicks in clicks will decay
Just seven hundred

Better hear what I say because you won't get it again

This Haiphong Russian roulette playing with nuclear war

With Geiger counters to check

Geiger counter is clicking
Atmosphere ionizing
Lungs and skin are burning

Sieverticide
Nano-demise
Degrading particles in my entrails

From

Geiger counter
Goes crazy crazy

Radioactive storm
Storm
Storm
Radioactive storm

Run away away, run away away
Run away away, cause your body will
Melt

profanities to the beep a Geiger counter
Don't fear no tiger, they're busy minded
And I'm free to develop anger at anything I see
Like the cork tree sleeping

Well I'm gettin' tired workin' hard every day
Workin' every day and not a-gettin' much pay
I got a big Geiger counter, it's a pretty good rig

Sturdy and wrought, with a heavy mark of its founder
Detecting toxins in our talking

Expired lungs,

Uranium Fever

Elton Britt

2005

Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government

someone's dumped you in a nuclear pit
This radiation seems to mutate entitled hypocrites
I wish they'd dump you in a pit
 
The geiger counter's rising
Oh when

of wonder, as I pull the Geiger counter from the bag
I pull the Geiger counter from the bag

Car alarms wake insect swarms, Their shadows fall on frozen forms

cups
Promises and promises
Your geiger counter’s humbling
Its demon international
Im Puppeteered just like a doll
And if I fall don’t wait for me just

the toxic field  
  
 Waste disposal strategies never proven to be profound,  
 Geiger counters ticking nervously all around  
  
 And so the lake Karachay

to a Geiger counter that this is normally somewhat radioactive
You can hear the counter clicking faster as I move the sample closer to the counter

Pip-Boy screeches, Geiger counter wails
Shadows dance, basement's a roach motel
Chitters echo, scuttling on the floor
Rad roach friends visit,

on the shore
Where men in white suits
Fear to tread with
Their Geiger counters

Every fist a firm reminder that she made a deal
To keep her body warm in the cold

if that big old bomb's gonna blow
And it lit up the dawn, then it lit up Japan
Geiger Counter's still clicking down in New Mexico

You can walk a long
