[Intro]
It's nine o'clock in the Chinese takeaway
And I blame the effects on the Gamma Ray
Well, losing out on my jong
I set my watch to Hong Kong, I blame it all on the Gamma Ray
I hear the triad has crossed the Tong
[Verse 1]
In Indianapolis, home of the Gamma Ray
The deadly Gamma Ray
And there ain't no guest list tonight at the Memorial Hall
Cher got in 'cause she's so thin
Even Evil Knievel tried to wheedle
But no, the deadly Gamma Ray
I blame it all on the Gamma Ray
You know why, you know why
The Gamma Ray
[Verse 2]
I hear there's entry to only those with green hair
And the next world's bad, because of the Gamma Ray
Yeah, I hear there's panic buying of shampoo
And those little pots of goo
You know why, you know why
All because of the Gamma Ray
[Verse 3]
When Alan McGhee went to Dundee
He caused all the rock groups to flee
Yeah, I read it in the N.M.E
It was the Gamma Ray
[Verse 4]
The Chief Brigadier's head began to swell
Firing off depleted uranium shells
He bombarded everything pretty well
Except for the Gamma Ray
[Bridge]
Blow it all away
[Outro]
And then the Gamma Ray seemed to say
If you carry twelve margaritas on a tray
You cannot be touched in any way
By the benign, yet malevolent
Mark two chrome, Gamma Ray
So let's go back to Indianapolis, Indianapolis
Because it's the home of the Gamma Ray
