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
