Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Melon-rising, California sun
Drifting in a day not yet begun
6 o'clock and peaceful and serene
Floating in a Technicolor scene
[Verse 2]
Something nearly peaceful in the sound
Rising from the San Andreas ground
Overground, it starts to feel strange
Underground, it starts to rearrange
[Verse 3]
You'd better get up and run for a doorway
[Verse 4]
No time for thinking
Your life is at stake
Everyone's doing the California shake
California shake
[Verse 5]
Non‑believing, everybody waits
Shifting on the continental plates
Thunder far below the ocean floor
Damned impartial sub-terrestrial war
[Verse 6]
Wondering if you're going to survive
God, it feels like 8.4 or 5
Fifteen seconds holding your breath
Living through a microscopic death
[Verse 7]
You'd better hold on, the worst isn't over
[Verse 8]
No time for thinking
Your life is at stake
Everyone's doing the California shake
California shake
