I was born again a little north of Disney Land
Somewhere under Wonderland and Hollywood
But then I had to go skipping and diving and bouncing back to New York City
Straight through the heart of America where all the wild things grow
Chorus
I want to be an earthquake driver
I want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home
verse 2
I live alone but I am hungry for affection
I just struggle with connection til the water calls me home
Down into ocean among millions of other lonely people
Drowning among the only people we are ever going to know
Chorus
I want to be an earthquake driver
I want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home
Bridge
I want to be like the people I see
They want a rover just like me
I wanna stay but what keeps me away
Is I'm tied into the lightning line
And I wanna see if the sun is shining
Long night?s just a waste of time I, I don't want to see people like me
Just sleeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and
You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction
You say love is an abstraction, just some ghost that you chase
Well, I am a cypher and, I am a blank space
Filled up with words you remember from whenever you saw my face
Chorus
I want to be an earthquake driver
I want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home
Bridge
I want to be like the people I see
Hey man, they want a rover just like me
I want to stay but what keeps me away
Is I?m plugged into the lightning line
I wanna be where the sun is shining
All night, chasing time I, I don't want to be with people like me
Just creeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and
Now what is the price of this fame and self absorption?
We turn ourselves into orphans and then spend our nights alone
Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence
Terror incognito, ob-la-di li-bi-do
Chorus
I want to be an earthquake driver
I want to be an aquarium diver
I just don't want to go home
Truth is I don't want to be no earthquake driver
And I do not want to be an aquarium diver, but hey
I just don't want to go home
Oh man, I just don't want to go home
Oh, I do not want to go home
