This song is available on Chris Rawlings' Rocks & Water
Hot enough to melt rock into magma,
The heat from the Earth's core
And the crust of the Earth is like a puzzle
Whose pieces don't fit anymore
Like a temper that's getting pushed out of control
When the magma finds a way out
You've got a volcano
Some mountains are wild
Some mountains are tame
Volcanoes are like people
Each one plays a different game
You 're get the picture, there's a snow capped mountain
And a tremor that could mean a quake
You head for shelter, nothing happens
That's when you make your worst mistake
Back out on the street there's a sound like a thousand bombs
It's raining ash and fire then the lava comes...but Chorus:
Some mountains rest easy
Some mountains blow
Volcanoes have personality
Each one gives a different show
A steep sloped mountain; a wild explosion
A gentle slope means glowing lava flows
A volcano fed by magma, that's rich in silica
Will give a great fireworks show
You can walk 'round Kilaluao's crater while the lava fountains and flares
But climb up Popocatapetl only with great care Chorus:
Some mountains are fickle
Some mountains rant and rave
Volcanoes have attitude
Got their own way to behave
