Counting Crows - Earthquake driver - demo lyrics

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 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 see 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
