Rootless Lyrics

I'm a cloud drifting by
Dripping tears from the sky
I'm a snail without a shell
A leper with a golden bellI've got nowhere to go
I'm a stray cat on the roam
Choking on a chicken bone
For a home sweet, no sweet homeFor a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
For something, somebody that reminded them of meRunning with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless, I'm rootlessWork your fingers to the bone
Building castles out of snow
I'm a nomad walking on
Humming to the same old songLower case society
Tighten no community
A kingdom without a king
With no sense of belongingFor a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
For something, somebody that reminded them of meRunning with my roots pulled up

Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless, I'm rootlessRunning with my roots pulled up
So they could cut me free of loveRunning with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless, I'm rootlessDragging my roots through the snow
For a home sweet and no sweet home
I've got nowhere to go
I'm rootless, I'm rootless
