Run for your life
Don't follow what the others are doing
If you look back
Will you see ahead of you
The asphalt is a merciless thing to trip on
When you're in midair
It's best to let it happen
We have volcanoes inside us
It's been so since our ancestors
Your hands hit the ground
And your first thought is
To never rise again
To go ahead and give up
You'd just stay there and no one would come
The night would fall and you'd grow roots in the ground
You'd feel its heart beat
You'd be a tree, something real and big
You'd be a mountain shaking the Earth's crust
When you're in midair
Everything turns inside out
From there you see
There's a lamp under the world
We have volcanoes inside us
It's been so since our ancestors
Your hands hit the ground
And your first thought is
To never rise again
To go ahead and give up
You'd just stay there and no one would come
The night would fall and you'd grow roots in the ground
You'd feel its heart beat
You'd be a tree, something real and grand
You'd be a mountain shaking the Earth's crust
You'd be a tree, something real and grand
You'd be a mountain that
You'd be a mountain that
Volcanoes, volcanoes
Don't you seem
Too polished
Volcanoes, volcanoes
Breathe smoke and fire
Into the sky
