I'm a cloud drifting by
Dripping tears from the sky
I'm a snail without a shell
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
But there's somebody that reminded them of me
 [bad word] 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 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 [bad word] 
kingdom without a king
With no sense of belonging

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
But there's somebody that reminded them of me
 [bad word] with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless
I'm rootless
 [bad word] with my roots pulled up
So they could cut me free of love
 [bad word] with my roots pulled up
Caught me cold so they could cut
What there was left of love
I'm rootless
I'm rootless

Jagged roots through the snow
For a home sweet and no sweet home
I've got nowhere to go
I'm rootless
I'm rootless
