"Get out of the way!"
The hill's erupting now
"Get me out of the 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 the way!"
The evening's coming now
"Get me out of the way!"
See my mountain's furrowed brow
In my shadow's shelter she shed tears
She fell asleep in messy caves
She thought:
"Now here's a place where I can be alone,
Here I can blossom by myself"
No, '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,
I've got lava in my jaw.
"Get out of the way!"
There's no way that you'll get out
"Get me out of the way!"
See my lava pouring out
"Get out of the way"
There's no guts on your nightgown,
"Get out of my way!"
Have me surround you
Let me Pompeii the town
You, you lay and I will drown you
