Joe Strummer - Gamma Ray lyrics

It's nine o'clock in the Chinese take-away And I blame the effect on the gamma ray, the gamma ray Well, losing out on mah jong I set my watch to Hong Kong I blame it all on the gamma ray I hear the triad has crossed the Tong In Indianapolis, home of the gamma ray The deadly 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 And even Evil Knievel tried to wheedle No - the deadly gamma ray, the gamma ray I blame it all on the gamma ray Know why, you know why - the gamma ray I hear there's entry only to those with green hair In the next World's Fair 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 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 The Chief Brigadier's head began to swell Firing off depleted uranium shells He bombarded everything pretty well Except for the gamma ray Blow it all away 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, gamma, gamma Gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma ray Gamma, gamma, gamma, gamma ray So, let's go back to Indianapolis, oh, Indianapolis Yeah, Indianapolis, Indianapolis Let's go back to Indianapolis Because it's the home of the gamma ray Sure, I'm gettin' on a train right now I'm outta here
