Sleeping Mountain Lyrics

I hear the distant roar
As the waves cut into the bay
Just like the hungry words
That's eaten this thing away
Whoa! I can feel it disappearing

 Underneath that cool veneer it's boiling hot
 And one day soon I know you're going to blow your top
 Like a sleeping mountain - lying there waiting to blow

And some day It'll rise up
Rise up so high
And there'll be a cloud of smoke
Across a magenta sky
Whoa! I can feel the lava flowing

 Underneath that cool veneer it's boiling hot
 And one day soon I know you're going to blow your top
 Heading down that icy slope, crystal pure
 Behind the rugged beauty of your tranquil shore
 Like a sleeping mountain - lying there just waiting to blow
 Like a sleeping mountain - lying there just ready to blow

Never seem to notice if it's dusk or dawn
Might as well be naked in a thunderstorm
 And underneath that cool veneer it's boiling hot
 One day soon I know you're going to blow your top
 Like a sleeping mountain - lying there just waiting to blow
 Like a sleeping mountain
 Come on and let me feel the lava flow.
