Earthquake Driver

One, two, one two buckle thing

I was born again a little north of Disneyland

Somewhere under Wonderland and Hollywood

But then I had to go

Skipping and diving and bouncing back to New York City

Straight through the heart of America

Where all the wild things grow

I wanna be an earthquake driver

I wanna be an aquarium diver

I just don't wanna go home

I live alone but I am hungry for affection

I just struggle with connection

Till the water calls me home

Down into ocean among millions of other lonely people

Drowning among the only people

We are ever gonna know

I wanna be an earthquake driver

I wanna be an aquarium diver

I just don't wanna go home

I wanna be like the people I see

(Sleeping lady)

They want her over just like me

(Boring lady)

I wanna stay but what keeps me away

(Bye bye sunshine now)

'Cause I'm tied into the lightnin' line, and

I wanna see if the sun is shinin'

Long night's just a waste of time I

I don't wanna see people like me

Just sleepin' in, wakin' in

Hopin' and hatin' in

You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction

You say love's this abstraction

Just some ghost that you chase

Well, I am sorry friend

I am a blank space

But the words you remember from whenever you saw my face, hey

I wanna be an earthquake driver

I don't wanna be an aquarium diver

I just don't wanna go home

Oh, now

I wanna be like the people I see

(Sleeping lady)

Hey man, they want her over just like me

(Boring lady)

I wanna stay but what keeps me away

(Bye bye sunshine now)

'Cause I'm plugged in to the lightning line, and

I wanna be where the sun is shinin'

All night, chasin' time I

I don't wanna be with people like me

Just creepin' in, wakin' in

Hopin' and hatin' in

Now what is the price for this fame and self absorption?

We turn ourselves into orphans

And then spend out nights alone

Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence

Terror incognito, ob-la-di, loo-bi-do

I wanna be an earthquake driver

I don't wanna be an aquarium diver

I just don't wanna go home

Truth is I don't wanna be an earthquake driver

And I do not wanna be an aquarium diver

But hey, I just don't wanna go home

Oh man, I just don't wanna go home

Oh, I do not wanna go home
