Shoots up through the stony ground
No space to rent in this town
And the reason that you had to care
And you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
But you’ve got no destination
In the maze of her imagination
Even if that doesn’t ring true
And it’s been all over you
Take me to that other place
I know I’m not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
Take me to that other place
I know I’m not a hopeless case
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
