Earthquake Driver

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I wanna be an earthquake driver I wanna be an aquarium diver I just don't want to go home [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I wanna be an earthquake driver I wanna be an aquarium diver I just don't want to go home [Post-Chorus] 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 be where the sun is shining All night just a waste of time I I don't want to see people like me Just sleeping in, waking in Hoping in, hating in [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I want to be an earthquake driver I don't want to be an aquarium diver I just don't want to go home [Post-Chorus] I want to be like the people I see Hey man They want a Rover just like me I want to thank For what keeps me awake Is I'm plugged into the lightning lining I want to see if the sun is shining All night, chasing time I I don't want to be with people like me Just creeping in, waking in Hoping in, hating in [Verse 4] So what is the point Of this famous self absorption? We turn ourselves into orphans And then spend our nights alone Living in fear Of some kind of imaginary consequence Terror incognito, ob-la-di, libido [Chorus] 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
