The song "Radium Girls" is based on a true story about female factory workers (around 1920) who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with radium paint. After being told the paint was harmless, the women ingested deadly amounts of radium. The poisoning resulted in teeth falling out, bone deterioration particularly in the jaw to the extent where bones had to be removed from their faces, stillborn babies and death.

Lyrics:
The un-dark
Sunshine glow
We watch them dance the night streets
With their anemic teeth
They’re walking dead girls
Living out dead dreams oh oh oh
Radiant radium girls
Radiant radium girls
And you don’t know what you’ve become
And you don’t know what you’ve become
The children play a stillborn show
Anemic bones
They’re falling unseen
But they’re bright as lighting oh oh oh
Radiant radium girls
Radiant radium girls
And you don’t know what you’ve become
And you don’t know what you’ve become
Become again
Become again
Become
Pull me in
Pull me in
Tight by my jawline
Bright lights in their eyes
Pull me tight by my jawline
Bury me in lies
Illuminated and lead lined
