Arizona Bay Lyrics
I was in an earthquake!
I was in an earthquake
Oh yeah I felt the earth shake
I thought I was gonna die
It was only 3.5
Me and some old ladies
Well we ran to find safety
I nearly did some reconsidering
About the way that I'd been living
Hold my hand as it all slips away
We'll wash up together on Arizona Bay
I was in an earthquake
Oh yeah I felt the earth shake
I was screaming "Help! I'm finished!"
Everyone went about their business
I was lucky to survive
(There was never a chance I was gonna die)
For a second I was really scared
Then I just didn't care
Hold my hand as it all slips away
We'll wash up together on Arizona Bay
Nothing lasts forever
It was just LA
We'll was up hand in hand
On Arizona Bay
Everybody's going surfing
Surfing Arizona Bay
Everybody's going surfing
Surfing Arizona Bay
Everybody's going surfing
Surfing Arizona Bay
Everybody's going surfing
Surfing Arizona Bay
Hold my hand as it all slips away
We'll wash up together on Arizona Bay
Nothing lasts forever
It was just Los Angeles
We'll wash up hand in hand
On Arizona Bay
Wipe Out!

What did Art Brut say about "Arizona Bay"?
On the inlay card to the Top of the Pops compilation album, Eddie said:
We have a few songs about Los Angeles, this one is about how I’d now like it to be destroyed by a massive earthquake as I surf to safety on a pile of rubble, lost dreams and broken promises.
