Composed this a few years back based on a nightmare I had while living overseas - a day after a huge earthquake had caused my bed to go up and down as if in a fun house.

Be My Earthquake
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

Everyone needs an earthquake
Everyone needs an earthquake
to move them back and forth
back and…
for a dream,
just a dream
a dream where things
are not real.

In my dream, I saw water fill the streets,
and I was standing knee deep,
And cobras moved
back and forth.
Ready to strike,
And I was frozen with fear (frozen in fear)

Interlude

And my mask was missing (shame on you),
And I grabbed my shirt to cover my mouth (you better!).
Please, I prayed, don’t let anyone see me (no, no).
I went through a hotel lobby,
and everyone was looking (security!),
But I kept my face covered
with my shirt (we're calling the police)
And I finally made it home
Just in time for the building
to sway back and forth (shake it, baby).

We all need an earthquake (up and down),
All need an earthquake (all around)
To make us go back and forth (back and forth, back and forth).
Oh baby, be my dream,
be my...
earth...
quake (baby, oh baby, oh baby).
