lyrics

OLD FAITHFUL

Chorus: Old Faithful Geyser is all I thought I’d see

All day I heard about geology

With my head full of words I made this little list

Now I can sound just like a geologist


Fissures, fumerals, steam vents and mud pots
Tectonic plates moving over hot spots
Ryolite volcanism in the caldera
Yellowstone began in our cenozoic era Chorus...

Hot gas, and ash and lava flows
Are everywhere you go on the Yellowstone plateau
Crystallizing magma beneath the upper crust
Provides the heat for hydrothermal thrust Chorus...

Welded tuffs with shards of glass
Once were flows of hot expanding gas
Erupting ring fractures made these formations
With pyroclastic blastification Chorus...

Take out your little notebook write the time and day
Whenever you see a geyser plume of spray
Learn all their names and their geology
An official geyser gazer is what you then will be Chorus...

With my head full of words I made this little list

Now I can sound just like a geologist

And geysers make a sound with their activity

So let’s listen to the sound of geology
