marina and the diamonds
rootless
I'm a cloud drifting by Dripping tears from the sky I'm a snail without a shell A leper with a golden bell I've got nowhere to do I'm a stray cat on the roam Choking 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 Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless (x2) Work your fingers to the bone Building castles out of snow I'm a nomad walking on Humming to the same old song Lower case society In touch with no community A kingdom without a king With no sense of belonging For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree For something, somebody that reminded them of me Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless (x2) Running with my roots pulled up So they could cut me free of love Running with my roots pulled up Caught me cold so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless (x2) Jagged roots through the snow For a home sweet and no sweet home I've got nowhere to go I'm rootless (x2)
