LAVA
The B-52s Lyrics

My body's burnin' like a lava from a Maura Loa
I'm feeling the heat of passion like a fiery lava flow from a volcano in Hawaii called Mauna Loa.

My heart's crackin' like a Krakatoa
My heart feels like it's about to explode from intense emotions just like the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia.

Krakatoa, east of java, molten bodies, fiery lava
Krakatoa is a volcano located in Indonesia that erupted in a cataclysmic explosion. The eruption caused massive destruction and chaos, as molten rocks and lava spewed out from the volcano.

Fire, fire, burnin' bright
The intense heat of passion is like a bright flame that burns within me.

Turn on your love lava
Let your passion flow and ignite like molten lava.

Turn on your lava light
Allow your love to shine bright like a beacon of light amidst the darkness.

Fire, oh volcano, over you
The volcano represents the intensity of love that burns within me, overpowering everything else.

Don't let your lava love turn to stone
Don't let your passion and love turn cold and stagnant over time. Keep it alive and vibrant.

Keep it burnin'
Keep the flames of passion and love alive and burning bright.

Keep it burnin' here at home
Continue to nurture and foster the love and passion in your relationship, right where you are.

Oooo hot lava
Expressing the intense heat and passion of love with the metaphor of molten lava.

My love may be as high as the highest volcano
My love is intense and powerful, like the highest volcano that rises far above everything else.

But the altitude is way too high
However, the intensity of my love may be too much for others to handle and can lead to a fall from grace.

Well it gets so cold when you look at me that way, yeah
When you look at me with indifference or lack of passion, my intense love feels cold and unrequited.

I just want to have that hot lava
I desire the passion and fire of a fervent love that is like molten lava, hot and burning.

My love's mountin'
The intensity of my love is growing and rising like a volcano that is about to erupt.

My love's eruptin' like a red hot volcano
My passion and love are exploding like a volatile volcano that is spewing out hot lava.

I gotta lotta lava love locked up inside me
I have an intense passion and love that is locked up inside me, waiting to be unleashed like a volcanic eruption.

My love's a lava bomb
My love is like a powerful explosive ball of lava that can knock you off your feet and leave you breathless.

Knock you in the head
My love can hit you hard and leave you reeling from its intensity.

Kick you in the lava bed
My passion and love can knock you down and engulf you like lava flows in a volcanic crater.

I'm gonna let it go
I'm going to let go of my inhibitions and let the passion and love flow freely like a volcanic eruption.

Let it flow like Pompeii or Herculaneum
Allow the passion and love to flow like the volcanic eruption that buried the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Let it sizzle, let it rise
Allow the passion and love to bubble and rise like lava that is about to erupt from a volcano.

I'm gonna jump in a crater
I'm going to throw myself into the heat of passion and love, just like jumping into a volcanic crater.

See ya later
I'm going to be consumed by the intense heat of passion and love and won't be back for a while.
