  • The world is spinning fast tonight
    You can hurt yourself tryin' to hold on
    To what you used to be
    I'm so glad the past is all gone

    Been out in the wild
    Been out in the night
    Been out of your mind
    Do you live here or is this a vacation

    Volcano
    You don't wanna, you don't wanna know
    Volcano
    Something in you wants to blow
    Volcano
    You don't wanna, you don't wanna know

    Your eyes were like landing lights
    They used to be the clearest blue
    Now you don't see so well
    The future's gonna land on you

    Been out in the wild
    Been out in the night
    Been out of your mind
    Do you live here or is this a vacation

    Volcano
    You don't wanna, you don't wanna know
    Volcano
    Something in you wants to blow
    Volcano
    You don't wanna, you don't wanna know
    You're on a piece of ground above a volcano

    You were alone
    And now you're not alone
    You were alone
    But you are rock n' roll
    You and I are rock n' roll
    But you are rock n' roll
    You and I are rock n' roll

    Oh, volcano
    You don't wanna, you don't wanna know
    Volcano
    Something in you wants to blow
    Volcano
    You don't wanna, you don't wanna know
    You're on a piece of ground above a volcano Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul David Hewson
