Volcano

Got my motor runnin'
Little girl, are you comin'
Keep your candle burning bright
Soon as you are ready
Hold that ladder steady
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me in the dark
Like a ghost rider in your yard
Carving names in bark along the boulevard
I'd be a bushwhacker
Even be your hijacker
Keep your candle burning bright
When we cross that railroad track
There'll be no turning back
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me sitting here
Up on top of your fence
I'm like an alley cat up here
Without a lick of sense
Volcano, I'm about to blow
Volcano, gonna overflow
Volcano, look out below
Don't leave me empty-handed
Like a villain in the woods
Prowling around the grounds
Trying to make off with the goods
Volcano, I'm about to blow
Volcano, gonna overflow
Volcano, look out below
