California Shake (demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Melon-rising California sun
Drifting in a day not yet begun
Six o'clock and peaceful and serene
Floating in a Technicolor scene

[Verse 2]
Something nearly peaceful in the sound
Rising from the San Andreas ground
Over ground it starts to feel strange
Underground, it starts to rearrange

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd better get up
And run for a doorway

[Chorus]
No time for thinking
Your life is at stake
Everyone's doing the California Shake
California Shake

Shifting on the continental plates
Thunder far below the ocean floor
Damned impartial sub-terrestrial war

[Verse 4]

Fifteen seconds holding your breath
Living through a microscopic death

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd better hold on
The worst isn't over

[Chorus]
No time for thinking
Your life is at stake
Everyone's doing the California Shake
California Shake
