She was a luminous beauty
I met her in 'The Bears Paw'
In the dying hours we'd meet there
We'd share the borrowed stories of our day
Radium Girl, what secrets do you keep
I'm in love with a Radium Girl
She glowed in the dark like a lantern
As ghost-like she'd glide into the room
She spoke with an adopted American accent
Though I know she'd never been west of Frome
Radium Girl, what secrets do you keep?
I'm in love with a Radium Girl
One day she stopped glowing
And a gloom descended over me
I grieve for my luminous beauty
I wonder where she could be
Radium Girl, what secrets do you keep
I'm in love with a Radium Girl
