Song to go with these lyrics?
Hi I need a song that would go with these lyrics that is just instrumental. Please help!
Cool it, magma, lava too;
We're gonna make igneous rock from you.
Under, over, through and through 鈥?br>
Just look at the signs and they'll give you a clue.
If you see large crystals from coolin' slow.
Magma's been intrusive down below.
From the batholith to the smaller sill.
Start with granite, keep goin' down.
Cool it, magma, lava too;
We're gonna make igneous rock from you.
Under, over, through and through 鈥?br>
Just look at the signs and they'll give you a clue.
If the crystals are small or not even there,
Lava's been coolin' quickly up in the air.
