Earthquakes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Earthquakes happen regularly down in California
Walls shake, but I don't move, I put the record on and enjoy it
I dance, dancin' in my underwear, I let the '70s rock and roll me
Laurel Canyon, can you feel my power?
Overdose on opium, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Just say I've gone crazy
I don't know what's overcome me
Just say you're my baby, but
I'm feeling tired and I think I'm done, yeah

[Chorus]
You can say what you really want
You can say what you really think
Just say goodbye to the sweet Pacific
Goodbye to your lonely queen

[Verse 2]
Earthquakes happen naturally down in California
Walls shake, but I don't give a shit, 'cuz dying's better for ya
Fuck life, evеrything here sucks, therе's no music anymore, yeah
I pray that he takes me in
The next big 9.4, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just say I've gone crazy
I don't know what's overcome me
Just say you're my baby, but
I'm feeling tired and I think I'm done, yeah

[Chorus]
You can say what you really want
You can say what you really think
Just say goodbye to the sweet Pacific
Goodbye to your lonely queen

[Bridge]
Shimmy shimmy, ko-ko-bop
Jimmy, Jimmy, rock
Jimmy, I don't give a fuck
Shimmy shimmy, rock
Shimmy shimmy, ko-ko-bop
Shimmy shimmy, rock
Jimmy, all I, all I want
Give it to me, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
Just say I've gone crazy
I don't know what's overcome me
Just say you're my baby, but
I'm feeling tired and I think I'm done, yeah
[Chorus]
You can say what you really want
You can say what you really think
Just say goodbye to the sweet Pacific
Goodbye to your lonely queen

[Outro]
Shimmy shimmy, ko-ko-bop
Jimmy, Jimmy, rock

Jimmy, I don't give a fuck
Shimmy shimmy, rock
Shimmy shimmy, ko-ko-bop
Shimmy shimmy, rock
Jimmy, all I, all I want
Give it to me, yeah
