Intro: verse 1 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 Chorus I want to be an earthquake driver I want to be an aquarium diver I just don't want to go home verse 2 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 Chorus I want to be an earthquake driver I want to be an aquarium diver I just don't want to go home Bridge I want to be like the people I see They want a rover just like me I wanna stay but what keeps me away Is I'm tied into the lightning line And I wanna see if the sun is shining 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 You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction You say love is an abstraction, just some ghost that you chase Well, I am a cypher and, I am a blank space Filled up with words you remember from whenever you saw my face Chorus I want to be an earthquake driver I want to be an aquarium diver I just don't want to go home Bridge I want to be like the people I see Hey man, they want a rover just like me I want to stay but what keeps me away Is I’m plugged into the lightning line I wanna be where the sun is shining 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 Now what is the price of this fame and self absorption? We turn ourselves into orphans and then spend our nights alone Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence Terror incognito, ob-la-di li-bi-do Chorus I want to be an earthquake driver I 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 do not want to be an aquarium diver, but hey I just don't want to go home Oh man, I just don't want to go home Oh, I do not want to go home
