Night Birds - Radium Girls lyrics

They told me I was a Radium Girl
They had a word for what they did
Like somehow that made up for it
There was a brand new kind of tax
In every one of those paychecks
Radiated jaw and neck
When you don't matter, you don't get a mask

Just another one of the Radium Girls
Had their way and they're done
With the Radium Girls just another one

They told me I had a glowing smile
But with each and every week
They had us down on our knees
Lips and nails bright in the dark
The hands of time leave quitе a mark
But the division is quite stark
Between unskillеd bait and front office shark

Just another one of the Radium Girls
Had their way and they're done
With the Radium Girls just another one

Lips and nails bathed in undark
The hands of time leave quite a mark
Pass our graves out on a lark
You'll see a Geiger counter spark

Just another one of the Radium Girls
Had their way and they're done
With the Radium Girls just another one
Just another one of the Radium Girls
They had their way and they're done
With the Radium Girls just another one
