I ain't joking when I'm telling you that while in the Yakima Digging up them thunder egg stones Well, we cracked them wide open, the mountain started smoking And the sky turned the color of a crow Fires in the north lands, floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out Fires in the north lands, floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia Handkerchiefs on coughing mouths, running to the full hotels Left us with no other place but home And in the distance tail lights came and went Sometimes as eyes of Vulcan sorcery Fires in the north lands, floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out Fires in the north lands, floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia Maybe we'll make it to that rise Maybe we'll see another sun rise The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia
