Volcanoes Lyrics - Islands

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 towel 

We 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 all 

Who 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 end 

I 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 die 

We 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 all 

Who 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 snow 

Don't breathe 

Don't breathe 

Don't breathe 

Don't breathe 

We 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 all 

Who knew? Volcanoes! 

Who knew? Volcanoes!
