Lyrics
You kept the linen clean
But you couldn’t keep the dirt off me
Pouring seconds from a hole in the clock
Leaving hours piled up on the floor
I might feel the sun
But the sun certainly won’t feel me
My hands are icy cold
But everything they touch feels heat
Everybody knows
While I’m passing by
The concrete starts to shake
I’m a locust in the wind
Now there’s nothing where I’ve been
Just a feeling left behind
Stole the bell right off of the ship
So, they’re never going to hear it ring
The passengers will be asleep
While the pipes are ripped from under the sink
I’m never going be the one
Who’s ever been lost in the sea
I’d rather eat the soap
That was meant to wash the dirt from me
Everybody knows
That when I’m passing by
The forest comes awake
Now I’m talking to the wind
Both asking where we’ve been
And what’s been left behind
I might feel the sun
But the sun certainly won’t feel me
My hands are icy cold but everything they touch feels heat
You kept the linen clean
but you couldn’t keep the dirt off me
I’d rather eat the soap
That was meant to keep me clean
Everybody knows
While I’m passing by
The concrete starts to shake
I’m a locust in the wind
Now there’s nothing where I’ve been
Just a feeling left behind
Everybody knows
That when I’m passing by
The forest comes awake
Now I’m talking to the wind
Both asking where we’ve been
And what’s been left behind
