Ray Hedgpeth - The Geologists Are Coming! lyrics

[Verse 1] They carry tiny hammers, they're chipping at the crust Like a John Fante novel , they're inclined to ask the dust Converging on the continents They're fearless and they're brave They're cruising down through canyons and exploring every cave Uncovering the myst'ries of the planet's history Deep into the cambrian for all the world to see [Chorus] The geologists are coming! Yes, they're trudging down the hill When they say that mountain's young They're talking ten to twenty mil They're cla**ifying rocks from destruction to rebirth The geologists are coming They converging from the earth [Verse 2] The "G" ist for granite, the "E" is for eon "O" is the outcrop, which they're inclinded to be on "L" is for the layers showing how things have evolved The "O" is for "Oh my! Another puzzle to be solved!" The second "G" is meant to give a little bit more insight For 9 times out of 10 that granite rock ist granodiorite The "I" is for igneous, the "S" is for sand The "T" is for the timeline they're holding in their hand [Pre-Chorus] The Geologists are coming! They're emerging from their tents Braving steep volcanoes to explore volcanic vents They take note on the processes, that shaped the planet's crust They're driven to inquire, explore this earth they must [Chorus] The geologists are coming! Yes, they're trudging down the hill When they say that mountains young They talking ten to twenty mil They cla**ifying rocks from destruction to rebirth The geologists are coming They converging from the earth
