|
I was born again a little north of Disney Land |
|
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 want to be an earthquake driver |
|
I want to be an aquarium diver |
|
I just don't want to go home |
|
I mean, I live alone but I am hungry for affection |
|
I just struggle with connection til 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 want to be an earthquake driver |
|
I want to be an aquarium diver |
|
I just don't want to go home |
|
I want to be like the people I see |
|
They run all over 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 |
|
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 |
|
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 run all over just like me |
|
I want to thank for what keeps me awake |
|
This unplugged ears to 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 |
|
So what is the point of this famous 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 ob-la-da |
|
I want to be an earthquake driver |
|
I don't want to be an aquarium diver |
|
I just don't want to go home |
|
Truth is I don't want to be no earthquake driver |
|
And I don't want to be an aquarium diver |
|
I just don't want to go home |
|
Oh man, just don't want to go home |
|
No, I do not want to go home |
