A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from below the surface.
Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis" volcanism. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so-called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core-mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth.

Swamp water's cheap
And nothing is sweeter
Than the taste of the world being strange
If we cannot stand around then I watched it come unglued
Wonder how it got so deranged
He moves to the inside
Of a giant silver train
On the trail of a monster
On a silent, silver train
Walk is the same
And eyes still imported with magic dust
That sparkles like the rain
Somewhere between in a house of dirty mirrors
And only fingerprints remain unchanged
He moves to the inside
Of a giant silver train
On the trail of a monster
On a silent, silver train
And all that you hear is the science of the ages
And history leaves only those to blame
And in this bay of mirrors
What you see gets turned to shit
And only your persuasion remains the same
And it moves to the inside
Of a giant silver train
On the trail of the monster
On a silent, silver train
And it moves to the inside
Of a giant silver train
On the trail of the monster
Here comes the sun a handsome bit of weather
Oh, we're lost out there napping in the hurricane
So why freeze now this is not a stickup
The reading's not exactly clear, it could be something atmospheric
So we keep going-going
Going up that slope leading to a volcano
Lower the rope, right into a volcano
And if it blows then we'll go out with a bang, oh
Last thing we know is the blast of a volcano
Can you imagine me all dipped in glowing color?
Oh, your great love split up, swallowed by the burning light
While a million years of rock go slipping under
Acting like a stone is so young and just running like a river downhill
But we keep going, going
(Going, going)
Going up that slope leading to a volcano
Lower the rope, right into a volcano
And if it blows then we'll go out with a bang, oh
Last thing we know is the blast of a volcano
See the sky explode and welcome us home
See the sky explode and welcome us home
See the sky explode and welcome us home
See the sky explode and welcome us home
And welcome us home, home
Going up that slope leading to a volcano
Lower the rope, right into a volcano
And if it blows then we'll go out with a bang, oh
Last thing we know is the blast of a volcano
(See the sky explode)
Last thing we know is
(And welcome us home)
Last thing we know is the blast of a volcano
(See the sky explode)
Last thing we know is
(And welcome us home)
Last thing we know is the blast of a volcano
See the sky explode and welcome us home
I like it here, in this quiet room
We can turn off all the trouble when we do what we do.
I like it here in the middle of the day,
We can hide inside each other when we need to get away
From rest of world
We need to get away from the world outside.
Way from the world,
Meet me by the place where we can hide
Somewhere they can't find us
Somewhere under volcano.
We can hide inside a volcano
We can find the good life on the inside.
I like the crazy way you look at me,
Without the grudge we can be what we were afraid to be.
I remember what it's like to be cleaner than...
I remember what is that makes me need to get away.
Away from of world
We need to get away from the world outside.
Way from the world,
We need to find a place where we can hide, yeah
Somewhere they can't find us
Where my chain... back to wild
They may let us out this time, oh.
I made the mistake, I paid the price
I walked away clean, you know I did my time.
You've been waiting for years, waiting for me.
Waiting the lead so we can find a dream
We can live under volcano with no trouble around
We can lose ourself inside a dream.
In the middle of the northern sound.
Get away
We need to get away from the world
Get away from the world.
We got to get away, oh oh
Get away from the world
We got to get away, oh oh
Way from the world
You know we got to go by the place where we can hide
Oh, somewhere we can hide.

And I'm filling in the negative space
With positively everything

And it's all because of you

And it's all because of you
It's not emotion that I feel for you
It's not devotion that I want from you
I want someone to follow who doesn't leave the way
I want someone to listen who won't repeat what I say
And I'm filling in the negative space
With positively everything
I do, I do
And it's all because of you

Your lipstick smear across your face,
Now toss your hair in dirty grace.
Pink leather strap on your guitar,
Now spread your legs - how bright you are.
Mmmmmm,
They all know your name, Collie,
Claw your way to fame...
There's a star in her eyes and she knows it,
There's a star in her mind year she shows it,
There's a star in her eyes and she knows it,
A star in her mind yeah she grows it...
And every evening the sun comes up when she goes down,
And every evening the mud fills up her bridal gown.
The little girl inside of you,
Has made her dreams come true.
And tonight you take the stage.
You wear a dress of blood and lace.
You left a stain where you have kneeled
But Collie, you're still invisible...
Your lipstick smear across your face,
Now toss your hair in dirty grace.
Pink leather strap on your guitar,
Now spread your legs just like a star...
And I'd like to eat her breasts and know God,
And I'd like to taste her flesh and grow hard,
And I'd like to eat her breasts and grow God,
Kill All Of Me

Cruel things I've done, no doubt

Richard Prior in the streets with a congo line
It's a party party party,
Sky's full of confetti - but...
Uh-oh, I see her face is red
Think I'm embarrasin' her like I was drunk again
I'm so sorry sorry sorry, I didn't mean no harm
Gotta tell her why I'm singin' this
She gotta no that I love her and this aint no

Baby I apologize, but I

People gonna think, you don't flip the

So how these fears get in our heads? When 99 percent,

sing about it, next generations gotta know about it,
plenty of yall out there still got

Song called 'Volcano'
Don't hold my hair like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
But don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
For give me miles and miles of mountains and I'll park them with the sea
What I give to you is just what I'm going through
Well this is nothing new, i'ts just another phase
Of finding what I really need, is what makes me bleed
Like a true disease, she's still too young to treat
Like a distant tree
She's still too young to me
Rollin' easily up stream
Somewhere I have never been
Sliding in the undertow
Winding through greenery it flows
Slowly wonders on and on and
Messes up and then it's gone
The moon is lying on the lawn in front of me
Stays awhile and not too long
And see it even when it's gone
It's rolling on and on and on
In ecstasy
Falling into another stream
Somewhere I have always been
Finding the switch (?) to stub your toe
Blindly through greenery it flowed
Slowly wonders on and on and
Messes up and then it's gone
The moon is lying on the lawn in front of me
Stays awhile and not too long
And see it even when it's gone
It's rolling on and on and on
In ecstasy
Rollin' easily up stream
Somewhere I have never been
Sliding in the undertow
Winding through greenery it flows
Slowly wonders on and on and
Messes up and then it's gone
The moon is lying on the lawn in front of me
Stays awhile and not too long
And see it even when it's gone
It's rolling on and on and on
In ecstasy
Stays awhile and not too long
And see it even when it's gone
It's rolling on and on and on
In ecstasy
Slowly wonders on and on
And see it even when it's gone
Now is the season
For wasting time
Now is the fish upon the line
Another reason without a rhyme
A highway pub would be on tithes
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of thing that doesn't know from wrong or right
It's what you put and what you lay down
To wrap around your night
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
It's like a movie
That never starts
It's like a cloud that falls apart
You are the law-man
I am the crime
I'm paying back the borrowed time
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of thing that doesn't know from wrong or right
It's what you put and what you lay down
To wrap around your night
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
There's so much lumber
That's left to burn
I don't know which way I should turn
Eye of the needle
Hair of the dog
I'm rolling off upon a log
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of thing that doesn't know from wrong or right
It's what you put and what you lay down
To wrap around your night
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of light
Some kind of thing that doesn't know from wrong or right
It's what you put and what you lay down
To wrap around your night
Some kind of light

Fairy, if you can, sprinkle on this man, sunflower
dust......ooooh, he's...
Caught under a spell, caught in silly cell, funny
dummy.
Fingers through the jail bars tickle tickle
His home was a magic prarie, teeming with a symphony of
bugs...and
Cougars, penguins, froggies, cheetas, all was
Covered by a lazy fog & stolen via COUP DET TET,
there's only one faint hope
Sprinkle your love
It's a fairy tale of a priviledge man
Who when he saw it was a war-torn land
The sweet guilt hormone flooded out of his glands
Drowning in dogma - And the Non-Profit Scam!
Flick of a wand, federal
wizards - burned his - apple - wings to -
carmel - crisps and - melted - dreams -
their sugar cross and his sweet sweet guilt whispered
"tend to the poor"
that they may fight
Wars to win hearts minds and oil
The nation's blackest cauldrons boil
A spell a smokescreen bandaid scam
Perpetuates this filthy land
He felt it pump his heart
He felt it drive his car
It knew how he'd been built
Black Gold White Guilt Black Gold White Guilt Black
Gold White Guilt Black Gold White Guilt Black Gold
White
It consumed him in isolation.
A suffocating contrast - self loathing and self worship
Until a bare leg through his cell window
tickled right it out of his young skull
Fairy, if you can, sprinkle on this man, sunflower
dust......ooooh, he's...
Caught under a spell, caught in silly cell, funny
dummy.
When she emerged from her dandelion hut the fog cleared
a small space in the backyard
Wrestling match in the carrot patch. Screamed no
tickling no tickling. They rolled over a glowing light
two quaint portals - 1 pink and 1 green - she covered
him in pollen and cream
allergy ecstasy - sleeping veins needles pins -
sneezing fit laughing fit - waking from a dream.
And the river will rise up
And heal all the scars
On this broken skin
And drown in this cup
And the flies they will flock
And throw into the dock
And listen with a crooked ear
And they cackle and they sneer
And the river will rise up
And the river will rise up
And the matter of murder
Sits on my shoulder
And whispers to me
That I will be free
God Volcano!
Give me my self respect I plead
God Volcano!
This one thing I can believe
And the river will rise up
And in your lonely dark designs
Feel the cut and scaly rind
The malice and the wicked crimes
Of the sordid daily grind
And the river will rise up
And the words they spit with hate
Will never mitigate
Any semblance of the truth
That's broken or despised
*God Volcano!
Give me my self respect I plead
God Volcano!
This one thing I can believe
God Volcano!
Bring your flesh right into me
fire fire burn me alive, purify my lazy eyes of I

that steals your air
fire fire kill me alive, kill 'fore the lung tells me
its lie
nobody saw me come to this place
where flames like fingers touch my face
touch the nape of my neck
touch my nipples and breasts
and caress the rest like a symmetry test
and seeking the sex that's next
I came dressed to impress
cuz the whole magic forest will reduce to a nest
unless they think that I jest so to prove I don't mess
we best finish this quest
so lets
get it on get it on get it on get it on
father a cancer to sicken the lung
I've got a special little hole that I can birth it from

Have you ever felt such glory?
Maybe in a lost memorial?
I'll never wanna come back from again
And we really wanna be someone
Everybody said we were something
I wish I could feel like nothing's wrong
Could we really be much better?
To whom do you compare?
And where will we go when we get there?
Cos' everyone I know
Is reaching for the peak of the volcano
Be careful of where you're walking
Beware of what you're wanting
Do you believe you can be strong?
Cos' we can burn it all down
Spread that fire around
Cover it up with pounds of ash
Now I saw that lava blooming
Red stems and thorns are shooting
What are we doing standing here?
Everyone I know
Is reaching for the peak of the volcano
Everyone I know, everyone i know, everyone i know
Got my motor runnin'
Little girl, are you comin'
Keep your candle burning bright
Soon as you are ready
Hold that ladder steady
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me in the dark
Like a ghost rider in your yard
Carving names in bark along the boulevard
I'd be a bushwhacker
Even be your hijacker
Keep your candle burning bright
When we cross that railroad track
There'll be no turning back
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me sitting here
Up on top of your fence
I'm like an alley cat up here, without a lick of sense
Volcano--I'm about to blow
Volcano--Gonna overflow
Volcano--Look out below
Don't leave me empty-handed
Like a villain in the woods
Prowling around the grounds, trying to make off with the goods
Volcano--I'm about to blow
Volcano--Gonna overflow
Volcano--Look out below

Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
Is that all you need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you
Is not real
What I am to you
You do not need
What I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you
Is not real
What I am to you
You do not need
What I am to you
Is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
What I give to you
Is what I'm going through
This is nothing new
Just another phase of finding
What I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Put my hand on a mountain
Pulled the top right off
I made a new volcano roar
I could never do this before
Raced back down to the town below
To try to warn your mom
I made a new volcano roar
Just heard static on the intercom
Get out of the house
Threw a rock at your window
Your brother looked to see
Hey, "I made a new volcano roar,"
How come no one believes me
Your father watched from the front porch
I put my hand to the sky
"That's where I make your daughter soar,"
He must have misunderstood me
Get out of my house
He told me how his generation won the war
He asked me what I've done with my life so far
Covered in another layer, where'd you go?*
Tasting like another flavor I don't know
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on out of there
Into the bright, mathematical I'll call it a dare
There is not another way out of this mess
There is nothing left inside to repress
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Into the arms, into the arms you're supposed to be
I'm running out of angles
Left here just to dangle
Over your volcano
Give me something broken that I can fix
Show me something hard to see that I'll miss
Sarcasm never got me far, so what anyway
An autopilot shopping cart, I'll take anything you give me
I'm running out of angles
Left here just to dangle
Over your volcano
I know there is so much better
Better than this weather
Over your volcano
Who said this was logical - probably me
Thought I was methodical with my gripped gloves
I can't look down, I can't stare directly in your eyes
All of this heat has got to mean that I'm closer, baby
I'm running out of angles
Left here just to dangle
Over your volcano
I know there is so much better
Better than this weather
Over your volcano
Volcano
Volcano
I've been walking on these streets so long
I don't know where they're going to lead anymore
But I think I must have seen a ghost
I don't know if it's my illusions that keep me alive
I don't know what I've seen
Was it all an illusion?
All a mirage gone bad?
I'm tired of evil
And all that it feeds
But I don't know
I've been drifting on this wave so long
I don't know if it's already crashed on the shore
And I've been riding on this train so long
I can't tell if it's you or me who's driving us into the ground
I don't know if I'm sane
But there's a ghost in my heart
Who's trying to see in the dark
I'm tired of people who only want to be pleased
But I still want to please you
And I heard of that Japanese girl
Who jumped into the volcano
Was she trying to make it back?
Back into the womb of the world?
I've been drinking all these tears so long
All I've got left is the taste of salt in my mouth
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I'm going
To that volcano
I don't want to fall in though
Just want to warm my bones
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Let me say now, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Ground she's movin' under me
Tidal waves out on the sea
Sulfur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly
Let me hear ya now, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Now my girl quickly say to me
Mon you better watch your feet
Lava come down soft and hot
You better lava me now or lava me not
Let me say now, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
"Mr. Utley"
No time to count what I'm worth
'Cause I just left the planet Earth
Where I go, I hope there's rum
Not to worry, Mon soon come
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
One more now, I don't know
(Ah, he don't know)
I don't know
(He don't know, mon)
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
But I don't want to land in New York City
Don't want to land in Mexico
(No no no)
Don't want to land on no Three Mile Island
Don't want to see my skin aglow
(No no no)
Don't want to land in Comanche Sky Park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee
(No no no)
Don't want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon territory
(No no no)
Don't want to land no San Diego
Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay
(No no no)
Don't want to land on no Ayatollah
I got nothing more to say
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Just a one more, I don't know
(He don't know)
I don't know
(I don't know, man)
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
(Deseased! Deseased!) My dead lover
I'm alive, you're six feet under
(Deceased! Deceased!) You're in limbo
Partly assembled, losing all human shape!
(Don't fuck... Don't fuck with the dead don't!)
(Don't fuck... Don't fuck with the dead don't!)
Grudging course, grasping me
The lie of the failure, try'n pick a crie
(Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!)
Mirror is warped, shaking sight
The life of the failure, try'n pick a crime
(Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!)
Consciousness collapses eternally
Consciousness collapses eternally
Consciousness collapses eternally
(Zombie! Zombie!) Snake like head
I'm bait, game with the dead
(Zombie! Zombie!) You monster
Murder the living just to satisfy 'ya
(Don't fuck... Don't fuck with the dead don't!)
(Don't fuck... Don't fuck with the dead don't!)
Grudging course, grasping me
The lie of the failure, try'n pick a crie
(Ghost! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!)
Mirror is warped, shaking sight
The life of the failure, try'n pick a crime
Maybe we could talk
Maybe we could say
Maybe we could yell
And burn your breath away
There's one thing on our minds
I promise not to say
Move a little a closer to me now
Listen to the words get blown away
There's one thing in my head
That's driving me insane
So crazy I forget
To turn the thing away
There's something on our minds
We promise not to say
Move a little a closer to me now
Listen to the words get blown away
Thought can come alive
The eyes that meets the cake
That closes up your eyes
And burns your breath away
Ooh I must recall
The last one that I learned
There's nothing in my heart
That's easy to be burned
There's one thing on our minds
We promise not to say
Move a little a closer to me now
Listen to the words get blown away
There's one thing on our minds
We promise not to say
Move a little a closer to me now

VERSE 2
Kojirou-san
Kitana blade and a leather mask, with wild eyes, helmet
like Vader
....was dedicated to a
Solemn mission
He'd lost his son to modernity, and in a fuge, sought
an unknown vengeance
....on Western symbols of which
I sure was one
Leather boots and a bolo tie, ridin' my horse, won't
give a dime to OPEC
....and all those forces killin'
My tradition - of rules known but not written (down)
Paperwork'll give ya papercuts, but me & Koji, prefer
the wounds of a brawl
...that's how we found
Brotherly love..........when we were
Covered in blood......I said my brother I need a
Warm vacation....................
....HE SAID I HEAR YOU WHITEY, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED
Here's to the backwards craziness,
A tradition of ridiculous
A family tradition do or die
A grand tradition of endlessness
I never sit down and take a rest
A wonderful tradition that I try
I'm working in a love mine
I'm working in a love mine
The ugly try a number of things
Hold me down, pull off my wings
Try to take the prisms from my eyes
The coward's laid a golden egg
And the gold is running down our leg
Golden vapors cover up the sky
I'm working in a love mine
I'm working in a love mine
Here's to the backwards craziness
A tradition of ridiculous
A family tradition do or die
A grand tradition of endlessness
I never sit down and take a rest
A wonderful tradition that I try
I'm working in a love mine
A crooked smile a crooked eye
Bent up when you was a little kid
An unfortunate disguise
For a pure heart, marked by the outside
That sometimes creeps inward and changes you and makes
you feel
As if you're work were your whole life
You're sleepless and sickly
And so serious, you let it ring you dry, ring you dry
But your righteous vow alone will never bring you joy
A crooked smile a crooked eye
You let it become you
And wish some pane of glass
Would bend your crooked light, into straight lines,
straight lines
Injuries
Helplessness
Evil men
The peace you get from them
From them from them from them
Got a brand new face
So brittle it falls to pieces
My bones are charred and soon I am ash
And I'm clinging to all my soft wickedness

Going down to the river
Going down to the river
Going down to the river
Going down to the river
There's a rock in the river
There's a rock in the river
Going down to the river
Going down to the river
My song is strange
My song is strange
Run far away
Away
Run far away
Away
Going down to the river
Going down to the river
There's a rock in the river
Going down to the river
Going down to the water
Throw a rock to the water
There's a rock in the river
Going down to the water
My song is strange
My song is strange
Run far Away
Away
Run far away
Away
Going down to the river
There's a rock in the river
Going down to the river
There's a rock in the river
Going down to the river
Going down to the river
There's a rock in the water
Going down to the water
This song is strange
I'm just a clown
Who talks and never listens
I'm just a fool
Who's part of what is missing
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
I'm just a pain
I guess that that's my mission
I'm just a fool
Who got what he was wishin'
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
If I fall apart and miss you
If I fade and break your heart
Just walk away
It don't matter anymore
Tongue-tied and I keep on talking
Tied up and I keep on walking
I learn the same old trick today
Nothing new that I keep saying
Try to go but I just keep on staying
I oughtta run but I'd just get in my way
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
If I fall apart and miss you
If I fade and break your heart
Just walk away
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter anymore
So young and beautiful in her old used car
And she's had a bellyful of the way things are
Trying to make ends meet
Been down to her last dollar
Running from the heat of a temper like lava
She's a volcano
She's a volcano
Hot-wired by nature like so many before her
And you thought that you chased her
Then without any warning
She's a volcano
She's a volcano
Try to calm her down
Oh you must be joking
Give her all your love
The sweet sacrifice
Waiting on the cool quiet night
She can't understand it
All she wants is a good life
Nothing going like she planned it
Full of struggle and strife
She's a volcano
She's a volcano
Try to calm her down
Oh you must be joking
Give her all your love
The sweet sacrifice
Waiting on the cool quiet night
Waiting on the cool quiet night
That lonesome ghost don't come around here anymore
Where does it go when it's away?
It's like a magic show
Nobody seems to know
When there's nothing on the stage
But you still hear singing
Then it's all away
Then it's all away
There's nothing like that high and lonesome anymore
To get my feet back on the ground
It's like a sunlit room
With darkness filled too soon
Still something's making sounds
Like the dust is singing
Then it's all away
Seven days a week the bees are rising in the air
Nighttime falls like water and it soaks the Heaven's hair
Voices rise from whisper out across the trees and fields
Whispers turn to lightning all around the broken wheel
And I'd say, "You are a million"
And today you are a million
Used to be that one or two were more than I could stand
Now I ask for no one to a show of many hands
Once it seemed like nothing was about what I could take
Now that everything is here there's nothing I can shake
And I'd say, "You are a million"
But today you are a million
Seven days a week the bees are rising in the air
Nighttime falls like water and it soaks the Heaven's hair
Voices rise from whisper out across the trees and fields
Whispers turn to lightning all around the broken wheel
Around the broken wheel
And I say, "You are a million"
But today you are a million
And I'd say, "You are a million"
But today you are a million.
And today
But today
Try to move beyond the glow
Of wasted dreams that I love so
Twisted seeds that sideways grow
Sideways grow
And I don't
And I don't
Try to move beyond the glow
Of wasted dreams that I love so
I laid it on the line for a moment
I lay it on the line
Clear the sand off of the beach
The ocean's grown to wet to flow
Apple's hung just out of reach
Just out of reach
And I won't
And I won't
Clear the sand off of the beach
The ocean's grown to wet to flow
I lay it on the line for a moment
I laid it on the line
Try to make your garden grow
I must have planted nails and bulbs
The less I try the more it shows
The more it shows
And I won't
And I won't
Try to make your garden grow
I must have planted nails and bulbs
I laid it on the line for a moment
I lay it on the line
I lay it on the line for a moment
I lay it on the line
Try to make your garden grow
On wasted dreams that I love so
Twisted seeds that sideways grow
Try to make your garden grow
On wasted dreams that I love so
Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask what I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No, no just another phase of finding
what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
And like a new disease
Lord she's still too young
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
Got my motor runnin'
Little girl, are you comin'
Keep your candle burning bright
Soon as you are ready
Hold that ladder steady
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me in the dark
Like a ghost rider in your yard
Carving our names in bark
Along the boulevard
I'd be a bushwhacker
Even be your hijacker
Keep your candle burning bright
When we cross that railroad track
There'll be no turning back
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me sitting here
Up on top of your fence
I'm like an alley cat up here
Without a lick of sense
Volcano, I'm about to blow
Volcano, gonna overflow
Volcano, look out below
Don't leave me empty handed
Like a villain in the woods
Prowling around the grounds
Trying to make off with the goods
Volcano, I'm about to blow
Volcano, gonna overflow
I stay alone
And I never wonder
What lights outside
My wooden mine
You shot an arrow through my heart
You shot an arrow through my heart
Was made of stone
And I was an island
I wouldn't find
A piece of any mind
You shot an arrow through my heart
You shot an arrow through my heart
Stones all around
And I'm on an island
You took my life
And I survived
You shot an arrow through my heart
