Volcano (Live) Lyrics

[Intro]
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a-gonna go when the volcano blows

[Chorus]
Let me say now
Now I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a-gonna go when the volcano blows

[Verse 1]
Ground she's moving under me
Got your tidal waves out on the sea
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
I think some people in this crowd got high

[Chorus]
See, now
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a-gonna go when the volcano blows

[Verse 2]
Hey, my girl quickly say to me
She said James you better watch your feet
Lava come down soft and hot
You better lava me now or lava me not
[Chorus]
You see, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go when the volcano blow
"Mr. Utley"

[Verse 3]
No time to count what I'm worth
Oh I just left the planet Earth
But where I go, I hope there's rum
Not to worry, Mon soon come

[Chorus]
You see, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

[Verse 3]
But I don't want to land in New York City
Don't want to land in Mexico (No no no)
Don't want to land on no Three Mile Island
Don't want to see my skin aglow (No no no)
Don't want to land in Comanche Sky Park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee (No no no)
Don't want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon territory (No no no)
Don't want to land no San Diego
Don't want to land in no Buzzards Bay (No no no)
Don't want to land in no Cebu city
I'll hit Kansas city on saturday
[Chorus]
I got nothing more to say
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

[Outro]
Just a one more, I don't know
I don't know
I don't know where I'm a gonna go
When the volcano blow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
