Get the Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano
Get out of my way!
The hill is erupting now
Get me out of my way!
See the lava pouring out
I watched you watch me watch you weep
I watched your eyes get wet and wild
And like a mountain I had icy slopes
I was a glacier: high and far
And you watched me catch the dawn each day
You watched the pink light bathe my hills
And I watched you go and come
And go and go and come and go away
Get out of my way!
The evening is coming now
Get me out of my way!
See my mountain's furrowed brow
In my shadow's shelter she shed tears
She fell asleep in my mossy cave
She thought:
Now here's a place where I can be alone
Here I can blossom by myself
'cause I'm a mountain, girl, you're in my cave
I've got old love, red and raw
I'm a mountain, I'm an ancient way
And I've got lava from the jaws
(Hey!) Get out of my way!
There's no way you'll get out
Get me out of my way!
There's no guts on your nightgown
Get out of my way!
Have me surround you
Get out of my way!
Have me pompeii your town
