San Andreas Fault Lyrics

Go west

 Paradise is there

 You'll have all that you can eat

 Of milk & honey over there 

 

 You'll be the brightest star

 The world has ever seen

 Sun-baked slender heroine

 Of film & magazine 

 

 Go west

 Paradise is there

 You'll have all that you can eat

 Of milk & honey over there 

 

 You'll be the brightest light

 The world has ever seen

 The dizzy height of a jet-set life

 You could never dream 

 

 Your pale blue eyes

 Strawberry hair

 Lips so sweet

 Skin so fair 

 

 Your future bright

 Beyond compare

 It's rags to riches

 Over there 

 

 San Andreas Fault

 Moved its fingers

 Through the ground

 Earth divided

 Plates collided

 Such an awful sound 

 

 San Andreas Fault

 Moved its fingers

 Through the ground

 Terra cotta shattered

 And the walls came

 Tumbling down 

 

 O, promised land

 O, wicked ground

 Build a dream

 Tear it down 

 

 O, promised land

 What a wicked ground

 Build a dream

 Watch it all fall down
