Earthquake Songtext
von 13th Floor Elevators

The sound of the earthquake
The rhythms that you make
Are making my head shake in two
Magnetised by you
Love can pull me through
You pull through earth and stone
You pull through flesh and bone

The sound of the earthquake
The movements that you make
Are shaking my head right in two

You know I was never leaving
In each other we′re believing
Loss will never catch us grieving
Love won't go away
We command it to stay
Every turn our fate is taking
All around the ground is breaking
We′re safe in the love we're making
It won't fly apart from the beat of our heart


Like the ground and the sound of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
You make and it shakes my head in two

Rivers, waves
Reverse their course
The planet sways beneath our force
Canyons, mountain
We just run ′em
We keep our cool inside our hood
Even massive walls deliver us
Love′s power can never quit us
And no result can ever split us in two

The sound of the earthquake
The exchanges that we make
Are taking my head right in two

You know I was never leaving
In each other we're believing
Loss will never catch us grieving
Love won′t go away
We command it to stay


Every turn our fate is taking
All around the ground is breaking
We're safe in the love we′re making
It won't fly apart from the beat of our heart
Like the ground and the sound of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
You make and it shakes my head in two
Magnetised by you
Love can pull me through

You pull through earth and stone
You pull through flesh and bone

The sound of the earthquake
And the rhythms that you make
Are shaking my head right in two
