Liz Pappademas - Loma Prieta lyrics

Loma Prieta, dark hill Shook up the San Andreas to the heart of a little girl I was the epicenter There in the door holding onto my mother "No it's not, not it's not okay," I told her We saw a movie that day On a field trip to the mint I survived the quake In 1906 when the city burned black Those images came rushing like the fires, they came rushing back It was hot, it was hot, too hot for October We lit up the kitchen with candles My brother and I knew that school would be canceled We slept on my parents' room floor We knew about aftershocks, we braced for more We felt a lot, we felt a lot older Loma Prieta, dark hill Please stay dark, I pray, please stay still I was the epicenter I was the epicenter I'm not the epicenter
