"The Ballad Of Marie Curie" lyrics

"The Ballad Of Marie Curie"

A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive

The year 1903 in late September
A pavilion in Peczynska province
Let's prepare a voyage for December
We read the chemistry like poems

Sound of the atoms cracking
Signs in the radium tracking
Our goddess Marie Curie
Marie Curie

A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive

In June the 12th 1911
My children radium and polonium
I have dinner with Strindberg in blue heaven
Pierre's gone to x-ray pandemonium

From the laboratory of Eden
To the monarchy of Sweden
The laureate Marie Curie
Marie Curie

A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive

Sound of the atoms cracking
Signs in the radium tracking
Our goddess Marie Curie
Marie Curie

A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive

A corpse in the park
Her husband her tutor
Glow in the dark
The fame of the future
The story was told
She's gone where the gods live
Carbon to gold
She's radioactive
Radioactive
