      A
On a floating lily island
       D            G
Moving over slowly sideways
          A
Rest the temporary creatures
         F             E
Spending all of their days

Waitin' for the floor to
Buckle down below their belts
Crashin' into yet another
Driftin' continental shelf

Chorus:
F
Moving without motion
A
Screaming without sound
          D
Across an open ocean
F               A#         A
Lying there on temporary ground - x2

The old explorers had it easy
They discovered nothin' new
But returned on home with answers
Of sad existence clues

All the creatures have it hard now
Nothin' but God is left to know
And while He left us all here hangin'
With an illusion of a home

Chorus - x2
