Earthquakes are so polite
They tip their hats when the ladies go by
Sitting in the doorway patiently
Waiting for the ceiling to hit the floor

We don't have to compromise
It happens to us all the time
We don't have to make amends
We're never going to be friends

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
It happens to us all the time
We don't have to make amends
We're never going to be friends

It's Christmas time in Indonesia
Gonna pack our bags gonna see the beaches
Don't run away when the ocean recedes
It's just the earth's way of doing a curtsy
Ooh ooh ooh
