Io

[Intro] Pull me. Squeeze me. Watch what comes out. [Verse 1] Four hundred volcanoes on a world this small Plumes three hundred kilometres high Sulphur falling back as yellow snow A new surface every time you look up at the sky Jupiter has me in a fist Europe and Ganymede pull the other way My insides never get to rest I am kneaded into fire every day [Chorus] Four hundred mouths and all of them open Four hundred throats and all of them loud Nothing on me is older than a moment I erase myself and start again out loud [Verse 2] No crater keeps its name on me The lava buries every scar Loki Patera, a lake of fire Wider than some countries are Galileo saw me in sixteen ten A point of light that moved and stayed One of the four that broke the sky And showed the Earth was not the centre of the play [Bridge] Tidal heating, that's the phrase It means: held too close, too long Beauty made of being pulled apart And turning it into a song [Final Chorus] Four hundred mouths and all of them open Four hundred throats and all of them loud Nothing on me is older than a moment I erase myself and start again out loud [Outro] Pull me. Squeeze me. I'll keep burning.
