lava
THE B52´S Lyrics

My body's burnin' like a lava from a Maura Loa
The intensity of my emotions is akin to a volcanic eruption, specifically the lava from Mauna Loa.

My heart's crackin' like a Krakatoa
My heart is breaking open with such great force that it compares to the eruption of Krakatoa.

Ooh Krakatoa, east of Java, molten bodies, fiery lava
Krakatoa is a specific volcano located east of Java; it is known for its eruptions that involve molten bodies and fiery lava.

Fire, fire, burnin' bright
Just like fire, my passion is burning intensely.

Turn on your love lava
Express your love just as passionately as lava bursts from a volcano.

Turn on your lava light
Radiate warmth and passion in your love like a light that shines from lava.

Fire, oh volcano, over you
My passion is erupting over you like lava from a volcano.

Don't let your lava love turn to stone
Keep the fire and passion alive in your love so it doesn't become stagnant and lifeless, like lava that has hardened into stone.

Keep it burnin'
Maintain the intensity of passion in your love.

Keep it burnin' here at home
Keep your love vibrant and strong even in the midst of everyday life.

Ooh hot lava
Hot, intense passion that cannot be contained.

My love may be as high as the highest volcano
My love is as grand and spectacular as the tallest volcano.

But the altitude is way too high
However, the intensity of my love can be overwhelming and difficult to handle.

Well it gets so cold when you look at me that way, yeah
When you look at me with indifference, it's like a cold front that chills the passion between us.

I just want to have that hot lava
I crave the intense passion and heat of a volcanic eruption.

My love's mountin'
My love is growing and intensifying, much like the buildup before a volcanic eruption.

My love's eruptin' like a red hot volcano
My love is bursting uncontrollably with the intensity of a volcanic eruption.

I gotta lotta lava love locked up inside me
I have a wealth of passionate love inside me that needs to be expressed.

My love's a lava bomb
My love is explosive and capable of dramatically impacting those around me, like a lava bomb.

Knock you in the head
My love has the power to surprise and challenge you with its intensity.

Kick you in the bed
My love has the power to escalate our passion and excitement to a physical level.

(Over you) hot lava
My passion is overflowing and all-consuming, much like hot lava that engulfs everything in its path.

Oooo it's so hot
My passion is intense and overwhelming to the point of feeling like heat.

Oh, It's burnin' up in here
The intensity of my emotions is so high that it feels like a literal fire inside me.

Oh oh look out, it's about to erupt
My passion is reaching a critical point and is about to explode like a volcanic eruption.

I'm gonna let it go
I'm going to give in to the passion and allow it to explode like a volcanic eruption.

Let it flow like Pompeii or Herculaneum
Allow my passion to flow out of me like the destruction of Pompeii or Herculaneum by a volcanic eruption.

Let it sizzle, let it rise
Allow the passion to heat up and intensify into a spectacular eruption.

I'm gonna jump in a crater
I'm willing to take risks and fully immerse myself in the passion and excitement of our love.

See ya later
I'm leaving, and you'll feel the impact of my explosive passion long after I'm gone.

Hot lava
Intense, all-consuming passion that feels like hot lava.

Red hot lava uh
Passion that is so intense, it feels like red, hot lava.

Yeah
