Hands In The Ground
If you’re gone before I’m thereAnd your yellowing walls appearThrough the scrubbed, graying sheetsLook inside and seeIf you can’t believe it’s meHiding out beneath eiderdown skiesYou are so hard to deceiveForget everythingI go outsideTo virgin ground and dig a holeAnd bury my hands in the soilBecause I don’t like how I’m feelingIf you can shakeYour headAnd break through shadowy walls of sleepDraw the blinds above your bedAnd try hard to seeThrough the window into the streetAt little patches of ironed-down lawnIt is so hard to believe you can do anythingI don’t knowWhy my friends are so strung outEverybody’s on their backsAnd I don’t know if they’re sleepingI go outsideTo virgin ground and dig a holeSongtexteAnd bury my hands in the soilBecause I don’t like how I’m feeling(Go outside, shake your headDraw the blinds above your bedFeel the sun on the street and the dirt beneath your feetTake a chance, leave your home, pack your bags before you goCall your friend, shake his hand and then set off and don’t look back)
