Cannot Trust the Ground Songtext
von Grant‐Lee Phillips

There′s a comfort in the simple things
Put a kettle on the stove
Keep an ear out for the whistle when it blows
But I'm followin′ a world of things
Try to keep up with it all
But I can't believe what's come to pass as normal

The earth, it shook so much that I
Cannot trust the ground
The earth, it shook so much that I
Cannot trust it now


At the kitchen table school begins
She′s got her face up on the screen
Can′t imagine how it feels to be 13

The earth, it shook so much that I
Cannot trust the ground
The earth, it shook so much that I
Refuse to trust it now

The earth, it shook so much that I
Cannot trust it now

At the kitchen table pushin' paint
But I′m runnin' out of sky
I′m runnin' out of ways to pass the time

Runnin′ out of ways to pass the time
