Loma Prieta, dark hill
Shook up the San Andreas
to the heart of a little girl
I was the epicenter
There in the door holding onto my mother
"No, it's not,
no, it's not OK,"
I told her
We saw a movie that day
On a field trip to the mint
that survived the quake
In 1906 when the city burned black
Those images came rushing
Like the fires
They came rushing back
It was hot
It was hot
Too hot for October
We set up the kitchen with candles
My brother and I knew that school would be canceled
We slept on my parents' room floor
We knew about aftershocks
We braced for more
We felt a lot
We felt a lot
Older
Loma Prieta, dark hill
Please stay dark, I prayed
Please stay still
I was the epicenter
I was the epicenter
I'm not the epicenter

Breathing in the water
His hands grasped for the sky
A vision came down toward him
An electric snake
reflected in his eyes
Drugs and drinking hardly helped
the demons, they possessed him
the walls bled at the hospital
he buried the furniture
out in the garden
One voice, one voice
Spoke louder than the rest
Sarge made Scott saw off his shotgun
Put on fatigues and
shaved his head
And Sarge called out the orders
"Shoot the lock, kill them both
Leave you wife, leave the little girl."
Blood on the linoleum
Birdie and her mother crouched
The kitchen floor
The kitchen floor
Now he says he's born again
the Born Again April Fool
Believes he's being put to death
for preaching the gospel
the state is the devil
the law his rule
Oh, that power line
that electric snake
that devil's hand
reached out for him as a boy
and now as a man
I am not a juror
thank god I'm not a judge
'cause if he casts a shadow on a sunny day
In Texas, that's enough
