[Verse 1]
AI was born again a littlDe north Aof Disney Land
DSomewhere under WondeArland and HollywoodE  
But then I had to go skAipping and diving and bouncing back to New YDork CityA  
Straight through the heart of America Dwhere all the wild Athings growE  
[Chorus]
DI want to Ebe an earthqAuake driver
DI want to be an Eaquarium dAiver
DI just don't wanEt to go homeA  G  D  E  A  
[Verse 2]
AI live alone but I am huDngry for affectiAon
DI just strugglAe with connection til the water cEalls me home
ADown into ocean among millioDns of other loneAly people
DDrowning among the only people we aAre ever going to knowE  
[Chorus]
DI want to Ebe an earthqAuake driver
DI want to be an Eaquarium dAiver
DI just don't wanEt to go homeA  G  D  E  A  
[Bridge]
EI want to be like the people I see
DThey want a rover just like me
EI wanna stay but what keeps me away 
DIs I'm tied into the lightning line
AAnd I wanna see if the sun is shining
F#mLong night’s just a waste of time EI, I don't want to see people like me
Just sleeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and
[Verse 3] 
AYou look at me like I'm some kind of carnDival attractioAn
You say love is Dan abstraction, Ajust some ghost Ethat you chase
Well, I am Aa cypher and, I am a blank spaceD  A  
Filled up with words you rDemember from whenever Ayou saw my faceE  
[Chorus]
DI want to Ebe an earthqAuake driver
DI want to be an Eaquarium dAiver
DI just don't wanEt to go homeA  G  D  E  A  
[Bridge]
EI want to be like the people I see
AHey man, they want a rover just like me
EI want to stay but what keeps me away
DIs I’m plugged into the lightning line
AI wanna be where the sun is shining
F#mAll night, chasing time IE, I don't want to be with people like me
Just creeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and
[Verse 4]
ANow what is the price of this fame and self absorptioDn?A  
We turn Dourselves into orphans and then spAend our nights aloneE  
ALiving in fear of some kind of imaginary consequenceD  A  
DTerror incogAnito, ob-la-di liE-bi-do
