[Verse 1]
Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and Christmas parties
And I hate and I hate
And I hate and I hate
Elevator music, the way we fight
The way I'm left here silent

[Chorus]
Oh, these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces, yeah

[Verse 2]
We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of kings, never afraid to burn
And I hate and I hate
And I hate and I hate
Disintegration, watching us wither
Black-winged roses that safely changed their color

[Chorus]
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh, these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces, yeah
[Bridge]
I can't reach you
I can't reach you, hey now
I can't reach you, oh yeah
I can't reach you, reach you
Give me life, give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life, give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life, give me pain
Give me my- give me myself
Give me life, give me pain
Give me my- give me myself
Give me life, give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life, give me pain
Give me my- give me myself

[Chorus]
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh, these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces, yeah
