A transformative cover of Texan psychedelic rock band The Red Crayola who originally wrote and performed the song on 1967’s The Parable of Arable Land.
[Verse 1]
Selfless man slip by my side
Uttering words about the turning tide, and
She slowly furnishes my continuous ride
Towards insanitary bits of hide
Hair quite long and lavender-dyed
Split nostrils hovering open wide
Velvet breasts with crimson legs astride
Uttering words about a turning tide
And she asks me can I ever provide
[Chorus]
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation
[Verse 2]
My liquid head open to the rain
I walk through a bushel and a peck of grain
I hear in my ear a hurricane
And speak to the man about a train
Touch with my hand an aero plane
Eyes wide open on the coast of Maine
Red signs outside which I contain
Some sensuality that I can't explain, ah
Some sensuality that I can't explain
[Chorus]
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation
[Verse 3]
Tables bearing the fruits of Lent
Styrofoam people quite violent
Clear light blowing right out of my tent
Ozone over our continent
Expert men not knowing what they meant
They all eat babies for nourishment
Funny bird with her forehead bent
Slogans tell me that I can rent
Ah, yes they tell me that I can rent
[Chorus]
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation
[Verse 4]
Uttering words about a turning tide
Some sensuality that I can't explain
[Chorus]
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation
[Verse 5]
Ozone over our continent
Yes, they're tellin' me that I can rent
[Chorus]
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
