California Drifting (The Fault Breaks)

Like a slow, ancient creature Kicking tired, dreaming feet The fault emerges, sniffs the air, And rises from the deep. And the earthquake that follows after Pushes California against the shore And it splits apart at the seams And now we're on the ocean floor. The day the fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks. I lose my family in the quake And the rest in the sinking I break my heart in the quake Yeah, I break it in the thinking Now California is an island Floating on the waves A thousand years, and it's a legend An adventure to be braved. The day the fault breaks the fault breaks The day the fault breaks The fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks The fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks The day the fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks The fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks The day the fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks The fault breaks, the fault breaks The day the fault breaks Oooh Oooh California California California California California California Oooh The natives will dream of solace They'll feel the absence like a brace And though they won't recall the breaking They will always feel the quake. And I will always feel the quake And you will all feel the quake. You will all feel the quake, oh yeah, alright. But what's freaky is the rest of what happens after the earthquake.
