Lyrics:
Moonquake Lake [Version (a)]:

She's a fish and he's a boy
Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue
Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue

She came from the Moon ready to fight
With scales and a tail and a fishy bite
Ready to destroy all of humankind
Fierce and fighting with a brook trout mind

He was born in an air base above the earth
Strong in legend, my soul's in mirth
Son of a mime and a performer
With just a smile for a sweetheart


They were never meant to meet (but faith didn't listen)
They were never meant to be (oh it never does)
They were never meant to see (oh but fate didn't listen)
They were never (it didn't listen)
She's a fish, he's a boy

Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue
Moonquake moonquake
I want to catch you in my net
Now I am awake always
Like the day when I found it

And then one solstice at a fishing hole
He was unsure casting his pole
She swam right up to him and took the bait
He reeled her in and made it a date

When your worlds are worn, you look inside
Fight the power, stop the divide
Four eyes, two gills, one human nose
Wrap your arms around me in the river floes


They're half-clothed and all alone

Moonquake moonquake
I want to take a swim in Lake Moon
Now I am awake always
Since I dove into your blue
Moonquake moonquake
I want to catch you in my net
Now I am awake always
Like a day when I found it

Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
Moonquake
 
The Song:

"Moonquake Lake" is a duet between Sia and Beck, which can be found on the soundtrack to the 2014 remake of the film Annie. (Beck sings the bolded verses above.) It's a super catchy, pop song for kids.

Moonquake Lake is a fictional film within the film, and this song, I take it, is part of that. Greg Kurstin produced and played all the music; Sia and Will Gluck (the writer of Annie) wrote the words.
