Temporary Ground

Album: Lazaretto (2014)

  • On a floating lily island
    Moving over slowly sideways
    Rested temper and the creatures
    Spending all of their days

    Praying for the floor to
    Buckle down below their belts
    Crashing into yet another
    Drifting continental shelf

    Moving without motion
    Screaming without sound
    Across an open ocean
    Flying there on temporary ground

    Moving without motion
    Screaming without sound
    Across an open ocean
    Flying there on temporary ground

    The old explorers had it easy
    They discovered nothing new
    But returned on home with answers
    Of sad existent clues

    All the creatures have it hard now
    Nothing but god is left to know
    And while he left us all here hanging
    We're barely losing off our home

    Moving without motion
    Screaming without sound
    Across an open ocean
    Flying there on temporary ground

    Moving without motion
    Screaming without sound
    Across an open ocean
    Flying there on temporary ground

    Moving without motion
    Screaming without sound
    Across an open ocean
    Flying there on temporary ground Writer/s: JACK WHITE
