Lava Lamp

I've recorded the acoustic version of Lava Lamp, the title track to my new album. You can listen to it in the window on the right. I am adding lyrics to the reverbnation site. In the meantime, here are the lyrics to Lava Lamp:

“Lava Lamp”

Will Lawton


I can see the way she turns the world around her soul to burn.

Twisting every movement to a sensual display.

Frolics in the night again intentions are so evident,

And all the boys are hoping they can be her next mistake.


He’ll walk her calmly to her car two blocks from the city bar,

Hoping for a motion of continued escapade.

She’ll ask him in when they get home, her roommate gone they’re all alone,

And timing’s such a hassle in this game of give and take.


Fostering in melting pieces

Bent and blended through the light

Heaven knows she looks so radiant tonight

Often yields an imitation

Of fallen pantomime

Captivated by sweet Aphrodite’s fire


She wakes to find the man is gone. He’s left his number on her phone,

The night before. She’s almost sure this time it won’t be fake.

She calls him up in seconds flat and gets the local Laundromat.

Suddenly, she finds she isn’t feeling very clean.


Falls for all the lines.

Wrong at every turn.

Don’t she know she’ll just get burned?


Sleeping in the fire.

Will she ever learn?

Don’t she know she’ll just get burned?
