Marina and the Diamonds - Rootless I'm a cloud drifting by ( Dripping tears from the sky ( I'm a snail without a shell ( Leopard with a golden bell ( I've 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 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 ( 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
