A New World - Black Lab

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 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, I’m waiting for it

I’m turning over like an engine

Turning over 'til 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?
