Lyrics

[Intro] (My name is Oscar – I want to introduce myself. I was killed in 1936 by my brother. I am a demon, I want you to know that the world is going to end in 2007) [Verse 1] In trouble with the dogs Yapping like the trogs on that tape Getting stepped on like a baby Maybe slept too long Is that so wrong? So at sunrise we moved on At lunch the storm had gone away I didn't swim But I watched the waves While others stayed Under for over an hour While lovers hovered around the towel [Chorus] We washed our mouths at the riverbed When we noticed something glowing It was growing Things are going to change Hot rainfalls made of magma Melts Alaska And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it all Who knew? Volcanoes [Verse 2] In trouble with the gods We didn't always misbehave Where the sun shone, now it's gone We've been waiting for so long Now it's on Not that we would do ourselves in Funny how things work out in the end I never learned to swim Now I'm wasted, I'm too old Just hold on for as long as you can I'm so afraid to die [Chorus] We washed our mouths at the riverbed When we noticed something glowing It was growing Things are going to change Hot rainfalls made of magma Melts Alaska And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it all Who knew? Volcanoes [Bridge] The frogs, the frogs got it first And the birds all knew it too The worst was the worse smell on earth Silver and snow Silver and snow Don't breathe Don't breathe Don't breathe Don't breathe [Chorus] We washed our mouths at the riverbed When we noticed something glowing It was growing Things are going to change Oh-oh, hot rainfalls made of magma Melts Alaska And in icy Argentine they say Now I've seen it all Who knew? Volcanoes [Outro] Who knew? Volcanoes Who knew? Volcanoes Who knew? Volcanoes
