Temporary Ground Paroles

Paroles de Temporary Ground

On a floating lily island
Moving over slowly sideways
Rest the temporary creatures
Spending all of their days

Waiting 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
Lying there
On temporary ground

Moving without motion
Screaming without sound
Across an open ocean
Lying there
On temporary ground

The old explorers had it easy
They discovered nothing new
But returned on home with answers
Of sad existence clues With an illusion of a home

Moving without motion
Screaming without sound
Across an open ocean
Lying there
On temporary ground

Moving without motion
Screaming without sound
Across an open ocean
Lying there
On temporary ground

Moving without motion
Screaming without sound
Across an open ocean
Lying there
On temporary ground
