Jack White - Temporary Ground lyrics

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 [Chorus x2:] 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 [Chorus x4]
