The Lyrics
I live in Massachusetts, where earthquakes don't happen often. But one morning at 1:00, I was dreaming about a bumpy bus ride. The feeling was real- I was in an earthquake that measured a 4.5 on the Richter scale. (That means there was no serious damage, but it could be felt.)
I live on the East Coast,
In earthquakes, we're not toast,
And I'm not in an earthquake most- not all but most
Of the time, but one day
When my brain was at bay
I don't know how in my bed I could have stayed
There was an earthquake and I
Was dreaming 'bout a bus ride
On a potholed street, I thought I was gonna die
Meanwhile the house was shakin'
The earth was quakin'
I wasn't wakin'
'Cause I was fast asleep
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, earthquake at 1 a.m.
It was a 4.5 on the Richter scale,
Until I heard some talk about it I couldn't tell
Then I remembered the dream
And I wanted to scream
'Cause part of it was real, it wasn't all a dream!
When I remember that night
I don't remember no fright
'Cause I thought that the whole thing was in my mind
But the house was shakin',
The earth was quakin',
I wasn't wakin'
'Cause I was fast asleep
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, earthquake at 1 a.m.
While I dreamed, oh yeah
Earthquake at 1 a.m.
Thought it wasn't real
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, an earthquake....
Yeah, an earthquake....
A real live earthquake!
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, yeah
Earthquake at 1 a.m.
I was really in
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, an earthquake,
Yeah, an earthquake,
1 a.m.
In earthquakes, we're not toast,
And I'm not in an earthquake most- not all but most
Of the time, but one day
When my brain was at bay
I don't know how in my bed I could have stayed
There was an earthquake and I
Was dreaming 'bout a bus ride
On a potholed street, I thought I was gonna die
Meanwhile the house was shakin'
The earth was quakin'
I wasn't wakin'
'Cause I was fast asleep
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, earthquake at 1 a.m.
It was a 4.5 on the Richter scale,
Until I heard some talk about it I couldn't tell
Then I remembered the dream
And I wanted to scream
'Cause part of it was real, it wasn't all a dream!
When I remember that night
I don't remember no fright
'Cause I thought that the whole thing was in my mind
But the house was shakin',
The earth was quakin',
I wasn't wakin'
'Cause I was fast asleep
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, earthquake at 1 a.m.
While I dreamed, oh yeah
Earthquake at 1 a.m.
Thought it wasn't real
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, an earthquake....
Yeah, an earthquake....
A real live earthquake!
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, yeah
Earthquake at 1 a.m.
I was really in
An earthquake at 1 a.m.
Yeah, an earthquake,
Yeah, an earthquake,
1 a.m.
