I heard the locker doors rattle
I heard a cheerleader scream
Ground rolled like the ocean underneath me
It was a full-body experience
It was a slow-motion dream
Not an end or a beginning, but somewhere in between
Well the ground has been shaken
As long as I recall
If you never stop moving
Well, at least you never fall
Loma Prieta
Pray to St. Francis
Underground, the hill's above us
I walked home to the forest
Far from the telephone lines
Wind didn't say a word
through the tops of the pines
Well, we always had candles
And batteries
And multiple identities
Well the ground has been shaken
As long as I recall
If you never stop moving
Well, at least you never fall
Loma Prieta
Pray to St. Francis
Underground, the hill's above us
There was a baseball game
And freeways fell down
I was far away in a brand new town
I was far away in a brand new town
In a brand new town
In a brand new town
