Rootless Songtext
von MARINA

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
