Earthquake Lyrics by Butthole Surfers

Humpty Dumpty LSD

1990

The sound of the earthquake
The rhythms that you make
Are makin' my head shake in two
Magnitized by you
Your love will pull me through
You pull through earth and stone
You pull through flesh and bones
The sounds of the earthquake
The movements that you make
Are shakin' my head right in two
You know I was never leaving
In each other, we're believin'
Lust will never catch us grieving
Along the way we command it to stay
Everytime our fate is taken
All around the ground is breakin'
We're safe!
It's the love we're makin'
It won't fly apart from the beat of our heart
Like the ground and the sound of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
You're makin' it shakes my head in two
Rivers, waves they burst and pull
The pilot's ways beneath our oars
Canyons, mountain we just swore
We keep our cool inside heart
Through the massive walls that hit us
All this power will never quit us
No result can ever split us in two
The sound of the earthquake
The exchanges that we make
Are takin' my head right in two
The sounds!
You know I was never leaving
In each other, we're believin'
Lust will never catch us grieving
Along the way we command it to stay
Everytime our fate is taken
All around the ground is breakin'
We're safe! In the love we're makin'
It won't fly apart from the beat of our heart
Like the ground and the sound of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
You're makin' it shakes my head in two
Magnitized by you
Your love will pull me through
You pull through earth and stone
You pull through flesh and bones
The sounds of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
Are shakin' my head right in two
Right in two
The sounds of...
Yeah!
