Earthquakes are so polite They tip their hats when the ladies go by Sitting by the doorway patiently Waiting for the ceiling to hit the floor We don't have to compromise Happens to us all the time We don't have to make amends Never gonna be your friend. Earthquakes never lie You can see the truth in the whites of their eyes Kissing your hand and slapping your back Making you feel like a welcome mat We don't have to compromise Happens to us all the time We don't have to make amends Never gonna be your friend It's Christmas time in Indonesia Gonna pack our bags. Gonna see the beaches Never run away when the ocean recedes It's just the Earth's way of doing our curtsy
