Lyrics

Volcano

[Verse 1]

The world is spinning fast tonight

You can hurt yourself tryin' to hold on

To what you used to be

I'm so glad the past is all gone

[Pre-Chorus]

Been out in the wild

Been out in the night

Been out of your mind

Do you live here, or is this a vacation?

[Chorus]

Oh, volcano

You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

Volcano

Something in you wants to blow

Volcano

You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

[Verse 2]

Your eyes were like landing lights

They used to be the clearest blue

Now you don't see so well

The future's gonna land on you

[Pre-Chorus]

Been out in the wild

Been out in the night

Been out of your mind

Do you live here, or is this a vacation?

[Chorus]

Oh, volcano

You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

Volcano

Something in you wants to blow

Volcano

You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

You're on a piece of ground above a volcano

[Bridge]

You were alone

And now you're not alone

You were alone

You are rock 'n' roll

You and I are rock 'n' roll

You are rock 'n' roll

You and I are rock 'n' roll

[Chorus]

Oh, volcano

You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

Volcano

Something in you wants to blow

Volcano

You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

You're on a piece of ground above a volcano
