locust

you kept the linen clean but you couldn't keep the dirt off me, pourin' seconds from a broken clock, leavin' 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 everythin' they touch feel heat, everybody knows, that while i'm passin' by, the concrete starts to shake, i'm a locust in the wind, now there's nothin' where i've been, just a feelin' left behind, stole the bell right off the ship so they're never gonna hear it ring, passengers will be asleep while the pipes are ripped from under the sink, i'm never goin' to be the one who's never been lost in the sea, i'd rather eat the soap that was meant to wash the dirt from me, everybody knows, while i'm passin' by, the forest comes awake, now i'm talkin' to the wind, both askin' 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 everythin' they touch feel 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 passin' by, the concrete starts to shake, i'm a locust in the wind, now there's nothin' where i've been, just a feelin' left behind, everybody knows, while i'm passin' by, the forest comes awake, now i'm talkin' to the wind, both askin' where we've been, and what been left behind
