[My name is Oscar

I want to introduce myself

I was killed in 1936 by my brother

I'm a demon and I want you to know

That the world is going to end in 2007...etc.]



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 blew dawn

By 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 my towel



We washed our mouths at the riverbed 

When we noticed something glowing

And it was growing

Things are going to change

A hard rain falls, made of magma 

Melts Alaska

And in icy Argentine they say now I've seen it all



Who knew? Volcanoes!



In trouble with the Gods

We did it our way, misbehaved

Where the sun shone, now it's gone

They've been waiting for so long

Now it's on

And we thought we should 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



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!



The frogs, the frogs got it first

And the birds all knew it too

The worst was the worst smell on earth

Silver in snow

Silver in snow



Don't breathe

Don't breathe

Don't breathe

Don't breathe



Then we washed our mouths at the riverbed 

When we noticed something glowing

And it was growing

Things are going to change, yeah

A hard rain falls, made of magma

Melts Alaska

And in icy Argentine they say 

Oh, under a volcano!



Who knew? Volcanoes!



Who knew? Volcanoes!
