Lonely mountain sticking out of the ground
Spewing ash and rocks high into the sky
If at any time you quit work the earth would wear down
'Cause volcanos pile fresh crust way up oh yeah high
When you explode with the force of a bomb
You hide the sun and heap your stuff over whole towns
So we go out and make our predictions the best way we know how
In case a big one's blowing like Krakatoa
Listen to me
Don't go chasin' lavaflows
Until it cools to the temperatures
You're used to
You know that volcanos grow from rock melted inside the earth
And they can get pretty hot
Spewing ash and rocks high into the sky

You hide the sun and heap your stuff over whole towns

In case a big one's blowing like Krakatoa

Don't go chasin' lavaflows
Until it cools to the temperatures
