Radioactive
Imagine Dragons · W9 Hits 2014 [2013]
I'm waking up to ash and dust,
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust,
I'm breathing in, the chemicals, gahh ahhh.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, woah.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive.
I raise my flags, cut my clothes,
It's a revolution I suppose.
We'll paint it red, to fit right in, woah.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, woah.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive
All systems go, sun hasn't died.
Deep in my bones, straight from inside.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems glow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust,
I'm breathing in, the chemicals, gahh ahhh.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, woah.
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive.
Woah, woah, (i'm) radioactive, radioactive.
