I'm a cloud drifting by
Dripping tears from the sky
I'm a snail without a shell
Leper with a golden bellI 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 me
Running with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless
I'm rootlessWork you fingers to the bone
Building castles out of snow
I'm a nomad walking on
Humming to the same old songLowercase society
Tied to 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 me
Running 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
No home-sweet and no sweet home
I've got nowhere to go
I'm rootless
I'm rootless
