Wild Grass

Are you there? I haven't left yet
But I'll be there soon
See the snake bite in my neck?
I had to prepare
Oh I can see your long shadow
On the desert floor
Your footsteps are raising dust
You're coming to hold me
Like I held you in my mind, my mind
I've held you a long time in my mind
I held you a long time in my mind
I drew a jackal for you
Thought it would help you on your journey
I drew a jackal for you
And a grass rat for food
Oh I wish you would hurry up
I'm feeling all numb again
21st century child
Feeling all numb again
21st century child
They're feeding me images to believe
Now that it's beyond neon
It rains all the time
Everyone's tired of the news
Living satellite lives
World just keeps spinning around
Regardless of what is being said or done
It spins around
Sometimes I wish its turning was up to me
I would hold it like I -
Hold a photo of a sweet memory
Make a spell and laugh from the heart
I'd take it with one love
Where the wild grass grows
I'm feeling all numb again
21st century child
Feeling all numb again
21st century child
They're feeding me images to believe
Shadows are getting longer
It's nearly night
Heartbeats sound louder
In the dark of the wild
The way those birds can sing of freedom
Free of charge, in the minds of the free
Where the wild grass grows
I'm feeling all numb again
21st century child
Feeling all numb again
21st century child
I'm feeling all numb again
21st century child
They're feeding me images to believe
