Severe Tire Damage: Earthquake

(Lyrics by: Steve Rubin, Music by: Mark Manasse)


You hear the rumbling
You can't stand straight
You run for the door
And curse your fate

The concrete's cracking
The buildings sway
The ball game's over
This ain't your day

   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  You're cold, alone, and there's no light
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Chicken Little got that right
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Keeps on rumbling through the night
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Outward calm but inward fright

The power lines broke
The highway broke
The telephone broke
Is this a joke?

Your whole house is smashed
Each dish and cup
Your head is spinning
Which way is up?

   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  You're cold, alone, and there's no light
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Chicken Little got that right
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Keeps on rumbling through the night
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Outward calm but inward fright

Guitar Solo

But now it's over
There's no more fear
Next time be sure to
Stock up on beer

   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  You're cold, alone, and there's no light
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Chicken Little got that right
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Keeps on rumbling through the night
   Earthquake!  Earthquake!  Outward calm but inward fright
   Outward calm but inward fright
