Lyrics of ' Mt. Hekla ' by Raccoon Tour

Preoccupy my temporal lobe, this is getting serious, oh no
I want to recognize the progress we have made
Hungover bodyless brown eyes, and her meticulous reprise
From across the ocean, she was finally coming home

She said: Take me far away from this cold place
My cheeks are frosted with my tears
And my hands need yours to hold

You're making poverty so fun
I wouldn't starve with anyone but you
You perfect actor
Burn with me forever after
Eat the rich and lose our jobs
We'll move down south till the arctic thaws
I pray that in the end, it hurts
Cause that means we tried to make this work

Stop!
Now breath, and hold it in, and let it out
Everything is gonna be fine
Each time I tell you I'm terrified, I'll finally be wrong
And you'll stop eating, or sleeping, or end up too far gone

And I'll say: Honey, please remember that you're loved
More than you'll ever truly know
You've got your family and friends
She'll say: Baby, come September
We'll be somewhere better for both you and me
We're both lying through our teeth

Without foundries or the shops
Without preachers or the cops
We’ll build a brave new life right here
Without shame or unabashed fear
Free the slaves and burn the bridges
Ignite billionaires like witches
Occupy the country clubs
They'll never find us just because

My head's in the clouds
I liked it better when I was back on the ground
Our heads in the clouds
One day we'll find a place that we can call ours
We'll come crawling back to Mom and Dad
We'll sell all items that we've ever had
And use the cash to get stoned
We'll tear apart our neighborhoods
The trees will burn, and walls crumble to soot
We'll make it beautiful for once

Green pastors dry up in the Sun
Hekla won’t wait for everyone
To migrate high into the stars or shut it like a mason jar
Save the kids, and save the money
Burn the flags to disband the army
The night the volcanos blew
I'm glad that I was sleeping next to you
