The lead single from Eight Arms To Hold You, “Volcano Girls” was Veruca Salt’s second and last top 10 hit on the Modern Rock Chart.
The song is notable largely for its call back to their previous single, “Seether,” revealing that the “Seether” in the song is guitarist/back-up vocalist Louise Post.
[Chorus]
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
[Verse 1]
Tell me, tell me what you really want from me
You've got to let me know
I'm falling off and I need you terribly
One down and one to go
Volcano girls, we really can't be beat
Warm us up and watch us blow
But now and then we fail and we admit defeat
We're falling off, we are watered down and fully grown
[Chorus]
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
[Verse 2]
A million miles of running and I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
But this is it, I'm giving up, I'm calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go, way to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
I'm falling off, I am watered down and fully grown
[Bridge]
Go, I don't wanna
Go, I don't wanna
Go, I don't wanna
Go, I don't wanna go
I told you 'bout the seether before
You know, the one that's neither or nor
Well, here's another clue if you please
The seether's Louise
One, two, three, whoa
[Chorus]
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
Leave me lying here
'Cause I don't wanna go
[Outro]
Leave me, leave me, leave me
Go, I don't wanna
Go, I don't wanna
Go, I don't wanna
Go, I don't wanna
Go!
