Songs About / On: VOLCANO

(Townshend)

Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealized sound
Every feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists
It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasized with their fists read more »

you got crazy legs
you got amazin' hair
you got rings on your fingers
and your hair's hot red
you got wit from my tongue read more »

Last night I dream you called from Costa Rica
The place you've been for the last two weeks
You said, "I miss you, oh sweet boy, and will you come on down?"
I woke up to my cold sheets and the smell of New Jersey
When do I get to wake up to you?
Today I can't forget that I've got these open wounds
It's such a drag
I can't forget you've gone
My ribs have parted ways
They said, "We're not going to protect this heart you have."
Oh no, what can I do?
My lungs are breathing open air
And my spleen is dripping from my pants
You've left me here in the cold
And I miss you
You never told me it would be this hard
I think my body's saying so
When you're not here, it's leaving me
But I hope that you're o.k.
Even though I'm dying
I hope that you're still trying to have a killer time
Go see the volcanoes
Go see the rainforests
I'll be fine by myself
I'll be fine without these bones. read more »

Don't you believe in me now?
Now that you found a new friend
Anything goes but the truth
Messages we never send read more »

You've never been to the moon
But don't you want to go
Under the sea in the volcano
You've never looked into my eyes
But don't you want to know
What the dark and the wild
And the different know

Come dance with me now
We'll dance without a care
I'm as free as a fire
And change is in the air
There are some things in my life
I'll never understand
But they become the force
That makes me who I am

Don't you worry about the kids
The kids are all right
Mama's rollin' in the back yard
Filled with love and light
'Cause you live and you learn
And you learn to hold on
And time will make it heal
And time will make it gone

Come with me now
Come with me now
It's time to try
It's time to fly read more »

He's waiting for the midday wind
And waves spread out so dull and slack
And with a hand fan every day
The old man smooths the water back
I cast a stone in just for fun read more »

My country’s bigger than most
And if asked I boast
’cause I’m really proud
So I shout it loud
Though our numbers are few
We will welcome you read more »

Haulocost so vast
While devestation is our homeland
Light aint all that fast
Vesuvious erupts our tune
Igniting all in reach read more »

(murray/harris)

Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive
And some of us are here just so that we’ll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy
Do we have to try and reason why read more »

(Lyrics & Music: D. Nastasi)
Ouch, there is pain inside of me,
too sick to sigh,
I'll just lie awake,
don't have to try, read more »
