Verse:
E5 A5 C#5
Under the island... middle of a mountain
E5 A5
There is a big bad... boomin' system
C#5 E5
Blowin' speakers, woofers and tweeters
A5 C#5
Amplifiers... melted wires
E5 A5
The party exploded.. the core is corroded
C#5 E5
Under ground... the Puget Sound
A5 C#5
Cause a shiftin'... and a driftin'
E5 A5
Big black boom box... stuck in the hot rock
C#5 E5
It's in there flowin'... it's in there growin'
A5 C#5
You don't believe me... that this scenery
E5
Could be a... cold blooded killer
Chorus:
Guitar 1
G5 A
It's gonna blow woa woa woa.... Volcano

Then go to the intro
This verse is the same as the first but with a semi-clean guitar
Now the island is shiftin'... the plates are liftin
The core is creamy... docile and dreamy
Stopped up and steamy
Happy campers... poop in their pampers
When a mountain... become a fountain
Of white hot lave... molten magma
Super sonic... plate tectonics
Stereo phonic... lava and tonic
The boom is bionic
Sony shut down... magnavox meltdown
Ballistic breakdown
Hi-fi heatwave... lo-fi lava cave
That sulfur smell is... Mt. St. Helens
Pompeii was yellin'...
play Chorus 4 times
