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
