you've probably seen me in emerald or aquamarine
and there's nowhere sound can travel faster than inside of me
my dimensional stability makes me perfect for outer s___ecraft
with a thin layer of oxide I can easily scratch glass

Beryllium the metal with the highest melting point
Beryllium the tool of choice for connecting Klyston joints
Beryllium won't magnetize but it will give you berylliosis and then you'll die
so don't be using me in your fluorescent lights

I filter out light from X-ray radiation
I oxidize to form a perfect electric insulation
atmospherically I'm formed by cosmic ray spallation
then I fall to the earth outside when it's precipitating

Beryllium the metal with the highest melting point
Beryllium the tool of choice for making Klyston joints
Beryllium won't magnetize but it will give you berylliosis and then you'll die
so don't be using me in your fluorescent lights

No, no, no, no, don't be using me in your fluorescent lights
