Earthquake Lyrics by The Uncluded

Hokey Fright

2013

[Verse 1: Kimya Dawson & Aesop Rock]
The wind and rain are here again
And a powerless darkness had laid me down
The lights are out all over town
But the earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
See the little bird fly 'round his head
As the little boy sits on the ground
And makes the toy cars drive around
It's a loss that I can't comprehend
It's a loss that I can't comprehend
(There's been a fundamental loss beyond comprehending)
Cause his mother died the other day
He's only three years old
Her body's gone but her soul is here to stay
See the little birdy-watch him grow
See the little birdy-watch him grow
(And grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow)
[Verse 2: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson]
October ended with a single feather funneling its way
To muddy Earth in front of funny sparrow copycatting
Eventually it would select and circle one
As if to pause and crown the victim of a loss I wasn't comprehending
There's been a fundamental loss we aren't comprehending
(It's a loss that I can't comprehend)
It's said the winged in post-mortal visitation echo well
The stasis of a spirit taken from its only home
A legend quoted by the wreathing of a grieving child
When all that's left to do is sit and watch the creatures grow and grow
And grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow
(See the little birdy watch him grow)
The winds and rain have begun inching in a frame
(The winds and rains and here again)
Like darkness with a bounty on whatever lay me down
(And a powerless darkness had laid me down)
The town had been retiring to its quarters as if waiting for the earthquake
(The lights are out all over town but the earthquake)
Got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
The earthquake got me out of bed
