Edie Brickell Volcano Lyrics

Volcano Lyrics

Last time I was walking by your house

I saw a stranger in the window
looking out.

And I waved in a shy kind of reserved way 

and he did
not wave back.

And I realized that it was not your house at all.

One time when I was in the bath 

all my fears started to drown me.

So I quickly let the water out.

I quickly jumped up and ran about the
house 

with no clothes on.

Drippin' wet.

Scared to death.

This was it.

This was the end.

So I called up a friend on the
phone

and she said

"Come on over. Got some hamburger helper.

Got some leafy whole wheat bread.

Got some good wine to drink.

Got some video tapes that don't exactly say much of anything."

When
the volcano erupted our conversation was quickly 

interrupted.

And
you ubruptly jumped up and ran to the car.

Screeched out of the
driveway.

Left me standing in the lava.

What could I say?

What could I say?

Victim of a volcano.

Burn me down.

Burn
me down.

Melt me to the ground.

Well that's what you get for living
next to a volcano 

that could go off and spill all over.
