Locust

[Verse 1]

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 everything they touch feels heat



[Chorus]

Everybody knows that while I'm passing by

The concrete starts to shake

I'm a locust in the wind, now there's nothing where I've been

Just a feeling left behind



[Verse 2]

Steal the bell right off the ship so they're never gonna hear it ring

The passengers will be asleep while the pipes are ripped from under the sink

I'm never gonna be the one who's ever being lost in the sea

I'd rather eat the soap that was meant to wash the dirt from me



[Chorus]

Everybody knows while I'm passing by

The forest comes awake

Now I'm talking to the wind, both asking where we've been

And what's been left behind



[Instrumental Break]



[Verse 3]

I might feel the sun, but the sun certainly won't feel me

My hands are icy cold but everything they teach feels 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



[Chorus]

Everybody knows while I'm passing by

The concrete starts to shake

I'm a locust in the wind, there is nothing where I've been

Just a feeling left behind

Everybody knows while I'm passing by

The forest comes awake

Now I'm talking to the wind, both asking where we've been

And what's been left behind
