DEAGDA
Verse 1
ADA
I was born again a little north of Disney Land
DAE
Somewhere under Wonderland and Hollywood
ADA
But then I had to go skipping and diving and bouncing back to New York City
DAE
Straight through the heart of America where all the wild things grow
Chorus
DEA
I want to be an earthquake driver
DEA
I want to be an aquarium diver
DEA
I just don't want to go home
Verse 2
ADA
I live alone but I am hungry for affection
DAE
I just struggle with connection til the water calls me home
ADA
Down into ocean among millions of other lonely people
DAE
Drowning among the only people we are ever going to know
Chorus
DEA
I want to be an earthquake driver
DEA
I want to be an aquarium diver
DEA
I just don't want to go home
Bridge
E
I want to be like the people I see
D
They want a rover just like me
E
I wanna stay but what keeps me away
D
Is I'm tied into the lightning line
A
And I wanna see if the sun is shining
F#mE
Long night?s just a waste of time I, I don't want to see people like me
Just sleeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and
Verse 3
ADA
You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction
DAE
You say love is an abstraction, just some ghost that you chase
AA
Well, I am a cypher and, I am a blank space
DAE
Filled up with words you remember from whenever you saw my face
Chorus
DEA
I want to be an earthquake driver
DEA
I want to be an aquarium diver
DEA
I just don't want to go home
Bridge
Em
I want to be like the people I see
A
Hey man, they want a rover just like me
Em
I want to stay but what keeps me away
D
Is I?m plugged into the lightning line
A
I wanna be where the sun is shining
F#mE
All night, chasing time I, I don't want to be with people like me
Just creeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and
Verse 4
ADA
Now what is the price of this fame and self absorption?
DAE
We turn ourselves into orphans and then spend our nights alone
AA
Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence
DAE
Terror incognito, ob-la-di li-bi-do
Chorus
DEA
I want to be an earthquake driver
DEA
I want to be an aquarium diver
DEA
I just don't want to go home
DEA
Truth is I don't want to be no earthquake driver
DEA
And I do not want to be an aquarium diver, but hey
DEA
I just don't want to go home
DEA
Oh man, I just don't want to go home
DEA
Oh, I do not want to go home
