BIG QUAKE
(Strider/Getz)
Had a dream last night
Saw the city in flames
Smoke rising from the rafters
Heard a rumble
From a far away train
All the window panes were shattered,
scattered

I saw the building
Starting to sway
You could feel it from Baja
To the Golden Gate

Like someone turned on the boombox
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin’ me, rockin’, rockin’
Rockin’ me to the Big Quake
Turned on the boom box
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin' me, rockin', rockin'
Rockin' me to the Big Quake

Rich man, poor man
Black and white
All the chosen people
In the same boat, rockin’ tonight
Soon they’ll all be equal

Sirens were howling
Started to run
When they said,
“Everybody, to your battle stations”

Like someone turned on the boombox
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin’ me, rockin’, rockin’
Rockin’ me to the Big Quake
Turned on the boom box
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin' me, rockin', rockin'
Rockin' me to the Big Quake

(Instrumental solo: backwards guitar sampling - Pete Fausone)

Sirens were howling
Started to run
When they said,
“Everybody, to your battle stations”

Like someone turned on the boombox
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin’ me, rockin’, rockin’
Rockin’ me to the Big Quake

Turned on the boom box
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin' me, rockin', rockin'
Rockin' me to the Big Quake

Turned on the boom box
I could feel the room shake
Like they were rockin' me, rockin', rockin'
Rockin' me to the Big Quake
