Lyrics
Earthquake of '73
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You hurt your foot roller-skating down by the bay
You lost your voice singing along to 'Raspberry Beret'
So I'll do my part not to break your heart
And baby don't break mine
Cuz I adore you and I know for sure
You're the spark on the sun
In the barrel race you cracked your rib and skinned up your knee
You lost a tooth in the Earthquake of 73
So I'll do my part not to break your heart
And baby please don't break mine
Cuz I want you and I want to just let you know
That I adore you and I know for sure
You're the spark on the sun
On the sun
On the sun
On the sun
