Verse 1:
      A
On a floating lily island
       D            G
Moving over slowly sideways
         A
Rest the temporary creatures
         F             E
Spending all of their days

A
Waiting for the floor to
       D                G
Buckle down below their belts
         A
Crashing into yet another
         F            E
Drifting continental shelf

Screaming without sound               
          D                           
Across an open ocean

Lying there on temporary ground

Verse 2:
         A
The old explorers had it easy
     D                     G
They discovered nothing new
     A
But returned on home with answers
   F             E
Of sad existence clues

A
All the creatures have it hard now
        D                  G
Nothing but God is left to know
             A
And while he left us all here hanging
        F             E
With an illusion of a home



Chorus (2x):
F
Moving without motion
A
Screaming without sound
          D
Across an open ocean
F             Bb  C Bb C  A
Lying there on temporary ground
