from Live by The Radium Girls
about
Original Song by The Radium Girls, as performed live at The Bug Jar in Rochester, NY in October 2009.
lyrics
In the winter's snow two roads diverged
The choice between stood as night and day
With unsure footing, we set off
Meaning lost to haste
We turned away from the motorcycle tracks
It hit us then, the gravity
We the righteous, sitting in the kitchen
Hardly daring to breathe
Postmaster general what news have you?
Postmaster anything at all?
If you could only give us legs to stand on
Or this hope might kill us all
This hope might kill us all
We never spoke of the terror 'neath our floor boards
As if ashamed of our own humanity
Our ears stayed fixed on the roaring winter wind
For an engine or a siren's scream
Claude grabbed a bottle and his violin
We lived each night as if it were our last
As we'd retire I would lie awake
With the righteous sleeping fast
Postmaster general what news have you?
Postmaster anything at all?
Is it true the Allies have made it to the beaches?
Oh this hope might kill us all
Yeah this hope might kill us all
Postmaster general what news have you?
Postmaster anything at all?
Could it be that the end is upon us?
Oh this hope just might kill us all
Yeah this hope just might kill us all
The choice between stood as night and day
With unsure footing, we set off
Meaning lost to haste
We turned away from the motorcycle tracks
It hit us then, the gravity
We the righteous, sitting in the kitchen
Hardly daring to breathe
Postmaster general what news have you?
Postmaster anything at all?
If you could only give us legs to stand on
Or this hope might kill us all
This hope might kill us all
We never spoke of the terror 'neath our floor boards
As if ashamed of our own humanity
Our ears stayed fixed on the roaring winter wind
For an engine or a siren's scream
Claude grabbed a bottle and his violin
We lived each night as if it were our last
As we'd retire I would lie awake
With the righteous sleeping fast
Postmaster general what news have you?
Postmaster anything at all?
Is it true the Allies have made it to the beaches?
Oh this hope might kill us all
Yeah this hope might kill us all
Postmaster general what news have you?
Postmaster anything at all?
Could it be that the end is upon us?
Oh this hope just might kill us all
Yeah this hope just might kill us all

The Radium Girls Boston, Massachusetts
We began playing together freshman year in college, which mostly was just daydreaming and not cutting our hair. This happened in a tiny room, barely able to fit us. We played all over Rochester and released a demo in 2008, but we craved more - and with lots of coffee, we finished our debut album 'From the Woodwork'. We graduated in 2011 and moved to Boston, so we can make it big like Bon Jovi. ... more
