Volcano Lyrics by Midwestern Dirt

Down the Stairs and to the Left

2018

You tell me, "It's good news
But watch your back
For all the cinders
Falling from the past"

Volcanoes
And hold the view alone
You tell me where you been
Not where you've gone

You lay your rug on the floor
And call it a home
But how will they know they're wrong
If you don't tell them so?

So leave the rust
On every nightside table
Fill the books with empty words
'Til they're a fable

Drink your water
Fill your lungs with smoke
When snow is here
I'll stay outdoors and wait for the light

You lay your rug on the floor
And call it a home
But how will they know they're wrong
If you don't tell them so?

You're the only one
Who's got old news
You watch TV
And sit in slumber

The world outside is spinning
And it's falling
Let's hope they don't drop their bombs
Before she grows up

Call the name of the wind
Beg the trees to bend
And when the leaves do fall
Sweep them up

Sweep them up
Sweep them up
Sweep them up
Sweep them up
Sweep them
