lyrics

"YELLOWCAKE" by David Guilbault

Hot-wired a car. Stole whisky from the bar.
Played the highest stakes. Won a rattlesnake.
Now I’m takin’ to the road
With my girl and a can of Yellowcake.

Cops are on my trail. Ain’t gonna go to jail.
This urania dust, keeps ‘em chasin’ us.
Now I’m runnin’ on the road
With my girl and a can of Yellowcake.

Pistol by my side, for this wicked ride.
Got a cargo of doom. Gonna make it boom.
Now I’m bookin’ down the road
With my girl and a can of Yellowcake.

I see the black and whites. I see the flashing lights.
I hear the sirens scream. Gotta flee this scene.
Now I’m jumpin’ off the road
With my girl and a can of Yellowcake.

There’s a rattle and hiss. Something’s gone amiss.
Where’s that fearsome snake? There’s a piercin’ ache.
Now I’m crashin’ off the road
With my girl and a can of Yellowcake.

It’s the venom, ya know, that’ll stop your show.
It’ll choke your breath. Lay your plans to rest.
Now I’m dyin’ off the road
With my girl and a can of Yellowcake.
