Volcanoes

In trouble with the dogs

Yapping like the trogs on that tape

Getting stepped on like a baby

Maybe slept too long

Is that so wrong?So at sunrise we moved on

At lunch the storm had gone away

I didn't swim

But I watched the waves

While others stayed

Under for over an hour

While lovers hovered around the towelWe washed our mouths at the riverbed

When we noticed something glowing

It was growing

Things are going to change

Hot rainfalls made of magma

Melts Alaska

And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it allWho knew? Volcanoes!In trouble with the gods

We didn't always misbehave

Where the sun shone, now it's gone

We've been waiting for so long

Now it's on.

Not that we would do ourselves in

Funny how things work out in the endI never learned to swim

Now I'm wasted, I'm too old

Just hold on for as long as you can

I'm so afraid to dieWe washed our mouths at the riverbed

When we noticed something glowing

It was growing

Things are going to change

Hot rainfalls made of magma

Melts Alaska

And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it allWho knew? Volcanoes!The frogs, the frogs got it first

And the birds all knew it too

The worst was the worse smell on earth

Silver and snow

Silver and snowDon't breathe

Don't breathe

Don't breathe

Don't breatheWe washed our mouths at the riverbed

When we noticed something glowing

It was growing

Things are going to change

Hot rainfalls made of magma

Melts Alaska

And in icy Argentine they say

Now I've seen it allWho knew? Volcanoes!Who knew? Volcanoes!
