Rootless Lyrics - Marina And The Diamonds

I'm a cloud drifting by 

Dripping tears from the sky 

I'm a snail without a shell 

Leper with a golden bell 

I got nowhere to go 

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 

I'm rootless 

Work you fingers to the bone 

Building castles out of snow 

I'm a nomad walking on 

Humming to the same old song 

Lowercase society 

Tied to 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 

I'm rootless 

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 

I'm rootless 

Dragging my roots through the snow 

No home-sweet and no sweet home 

I've got nowhere to go 

I'm rootless 

I'm rootless
