A New World

there is a child buried alive in my chest.
there is a stranger makes himself home in my bed .
and I don't believe even what I can see for myself .
I can see for myself through the bars of this cell.
everybody wants to find a new world.
everybody's searching for a sign.
everybody wants to find a new world.
why can't I find mine?
why can't I find mine?
make me a mountain of silver and gold and I'll stop.
make me a box of velvet and pine and I'll drop.
ask me to live what I know see.
I choke and I cough yeah I choke on my scotch.
can't you see that I'm lost even when the grass burns black I'm waiting for it.
and even when you won't turn back I'm waiting for it .
and even when my vision cracks I'm waiting for it .
I'm waiting for it .
I'm waiting for it.
everyday is tender as a sunburn .
I wandered down the hillside to the crossroads.
I let myself be harnessed to this spaceship.
