Lyrics

Volcana!

[Verse 1]

Tahitian hashish, and

A vermilion moon

Impure kiss of orchids

She's waiting for you

[Chorus]

She'll drown you

In hot lava

Volcana!

Volcana!

[Verse 2]

The luau, like wow

The limpid lagoons

She tries on your chevron

Inflates your balloon

[Chorus]

She'll drown you

In hot lava

Volcana!

Oh, Volcana!

[Outro]

Oh, she'll drown you

In hot lava

Oh, oh, in hot lava

Volcana!

Volcana!
