Livin' on the fault line,

Waiting for the big time

sends a shiver down your spine,

livin' on the fault line

Waiting in the sun,

with the big meter on

But it comes without a sign,

livin' on the fault line

[Instrumental]

C G D G

As the time rolls along,

you know it's coming on

playing in the sunshine,

livin' on the fault line

Well the skys are blue,

and the ocean too

Having such a good time,

livin' on the fault line

[Instrumental]

C G D G

When the fault line breaks,

you know for all I say

There's now use in crying,

livin' on the fault line

Livin' on the fault line,

Waiting for the big time

sends a shiver down your spine,

livin' on the fault line

Waiting in the sun,

with the big meter on

But it comes without a sign,

livin' on the fault line

[Instrumental]
