The Ballad of Marie Curie Lyrics

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 pavillion 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

n 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...
Sound of the atoms cracking...
