A New World

Here 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 looking for a sign

Every day is tender as a sunburn

Why can't I find mine?

Why can't I find mine?

Give me a mountain of silver and gold and I'll stop

Build me a box of velvet and pine and I'll drop

But ask me to live what I know see I choke and I cough

Yeah I choke on my scotch

Can you see what I've lost

Everybody wants to find a new world

Everybody's looking for a sign

Every day is tender as a sunburn

Why can't I find mine?

Why can't I find mine?

Even when the grass burns black I'm waiting for it

And even when the future cracks I'm waiting for it

And even you don't come back I'm waiting for it

I'm waiting for it, waiting for it

I'm waiting for it

I'm turning over like an engine

Turning over till I catch

Everybody wants to find a new world

Everybody's looking for a sign

Every day is tender as a sunburn

Why can't I find mine?

Why can't I find mine?

Why can't I find mine?
