Oh I ain't joking when I'm telling ya That while in the Yakima Digging up them thunderegg stones Well, we cracked them wide open The mountain started smoking And the sky turned the color of a crow Fires in the northlands Floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal And let it all hang out Fires in the northlands Floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal And let it all hang out The ash turned to confetti HALLELUJAH! Outside them great tri-cities HALLELUJAH! Oh, God showed his great mercy HALLELUJAH! Turned ash into confetti HALLELUJAH! 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 northlands Floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal And let it all hang out Fires in the northlands Floods to the south Put the pedal to the metal And let it all hang out The ash turned to confetti HALLELUJAH! Outside them great tri-cities HALLELUJAH! Oh, God showed his great mercy HALLELUJAH! Turned ash into confetti HALLELUJAH! Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe we'll make it to that rise Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe we'll see another sun rise OH YEAH The ash turned to confetti HALLELUJAH! Outside them great tri-cities HALLELUJAH! Oh, God showed his great mercy HALLELUJAH! Turned ash into confetti HALLELUJAH! Turned ash into confetti HALLELUJAH! Outside them great tri-cities HALLELUJAH! Oh, God showed his great mercy HALLELUJAH! Turned ash into confetti HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
