Rootless

I'm a cloud driftin' by Drippin' tears from the sky I'm a snail without a shell Leper with a golden bell I've got nowhere to go I'm a stray cat on the roam Chokin' on a chicken bone For a home-sweet, no sweet home For a root, for a leaf For a branch, for a tree For something, somebody That reminded them of me Runnin' with my roots pulled up Caught me cold, so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless Work you fingers to the bone Buildin' castles out of snow I'm a nomad walking on Hummin' to the same old song Lowercase society tied to no community A kingdom without a king with no sense of belongin' For a root, for a leaf For a branch, for a tree For something, somebody That reminded them of me Runnin' with my roots pulled up Caught me cold, so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless Runnin' with my roots pulled up So they could cut me free of love Runnin' with my roots pulled up Caught me cold, so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless Draggin' my roots through the snow No home-sweet and no sweet home I've got nowhere to go I'm rootless, I'm rootless
