Wish You Weren’t Here

[Verse] Lights out on Sunset Orange glow I remember when I was a kid Every movie star in the world lived there It was all I knew [Chorus] But California had the biggest earthquake in the history of the world And then it slid into the ocean And everyone died Including my girlfriend And then my favorite uncle [Verse 2] The seismologist He was crying We all had to hold each other Tidal waves go through the states The water level has to rise The dogs and cats start talkin' The skies are full of hawks and eagles I told my friends I'd miss them They said the same I told my enemies I loved them They did the same I went to work and I quit my job We all knew we were gonna die My boss said he loved me I said the same But that's not true I didn't love him [Chorus] But California had the biggest earthquake in the history of the world And then it slid into the ocean And everyone died Including my girlfriend And then my favorite uncle [Bridge] Now I'm not trying to make a political statement Or take any sort of a stance But I think the state of California would still be around If they'd eaten avocados from Mexico
