Earthquake Driver

LETRA

Earthquake Driver

I was born again a little north of Disneyland
Somewhere under Wonderland in 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 want to 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 going to know

I wanna be an earthquake driver
I wanna be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

I want to be like the people I see
They want a Rover just like me
I was saved, but what keeps me awake
Is I'm tied into the lightning line
And I wanna see if the sun is shining
A long night's just a waste of time I
I don't want to see people like me
Just sleeping in, waking in, hoping in, hating in

You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction
You say love's an abstraction
Just some ghost that you chase
Well, I am a cypher and I am a blank space
Filled with the words you remember
From whenever you saw my face

I want to be an earthquake driver
I don't want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home

I want to be like the people I see
Hey man, they want a Rover just like me
I want to stay but what keeps me awake
Is I'm plugged into the lightning lining
I want to be where the sun is shining
All night, chasing time I
I don't want to be with people like me
Just creeping and waking and hoping and hating and

Now what is the price for this fame and self-absorption?
We turn ourselves into orphans then spend our nights alone
Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence
Terror incognito, ob-la-di, libido

I wanna be an earthquake driver
I don't want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't wanna go home

Truth is, I don't wanna be no earthquake driver
And I do not want to be an aquarium diver
But hey, I just don't wanna go home

Oh man, just don't wanna go home
Oh, I do not wanna go home
