Lyric discussion by DiamondDBagDarrell 

Lava is about Heroin, certain parts of the lyrics seem to go through the whole terrible cycle.

starting with using, then coming down, "floating down like a rain". Then starting to get sick, and needing and searching to get some more. " hot Lava cool down big travel every town", with "roll it over with a Ball and Chain" meaning you're doing it with the monkey on your back.

"On the always make ready to burn What the hell is in your Lost and your found Got lotta those time Some owner lost He wants nothin' but the kick underground"

could be that you're at all times looking to rob and steal, no matter who or what, because nothing else matters except getting that next fix.

"Big kicka mule Dipped in hot cotton Make water like candy And a fever like mine Big boiler Make rotten grey matter not spoiled like the child who pops them two at a time"

This could be getting a hot shot, "big kicka mule", or doing too much " big boiler". But either way....eventually..... You're gonna get that permanent " kick underground".

And all the while you have the voice of Heroin, or Satan...or both, gleefully telling you that with the "Hot Lava", you will indeed " BE HEALED!!!!".

whatever its meaning is, it's another phenomenal song from what I consider their best album, "Filth Pig".

Just re-read this and missed a couple:

Hot lava Big Monkey flow Chokin' on a color

Big monkey flow is the brown in the needle, Chokin’ on a color is the blood (red) from vein as you pull syringe.

Hot lava Cool down Big travel every town Roll it over with a ball and chain

Cool down is running out, big travel is going wherever you gotta to get fixed, roll it over is using with your partner.

the devil put opiate on the earth God put Marijuana on the earth
