Lyrics

Hmmm, hmm-hmm
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope
I won't forget to find them
I've got memories and tribal like gypsies in the night
(Tiggy-tiggy)
(Tiggy-tiggy, tiggy-tiggy)
I build a home and wait for
(Ha, ha, ha)
Someone to tear it down
(Ha, ha, ha)
Then pack it up in boxes
(Ha, ha, ha)
Set for the next, I'm running
(Ha, ha, ha)
(Tiggy-tiggy)
I've got memories and tribal like gypsies in the night
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And the thousand times I've seen this road
(Ah)
A thousand times
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
(Tiggy-tiggy)
I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots
Hey, I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
(Tiggy-tiggy)
I like standing still but that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from?
I'll say a different land
I've got memories and tribal like gypsies in the night
(Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Uh
(Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
(Tiggy-tiggy)
(Tiggy-tiggy, tiggy-tiggy)
I count feet and numbers then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes
The rest is still the same
(Tiggy-tiggy-tiggy-ah-ah-ah-ah)
But I've got memories and tribal like gypsies in the night
(Tribal like gypsies in the night)
(Hmm-hmm-hmm)
Hmm-hmm-hmm
(Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
And the thousand times I've seen this road
(Ah)
A thousand times
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
Oh, oh, I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
(Tiggy-tiggy)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Tiggy-tiggy)
I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
Oh, I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
Oh
(Tiggy-tiggy)
I like digging holes
(Digging holes)
Hiding things inside them
(Hiding things inside them)
When I grow old
(Grow old)
I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes
(Digging holes)
Hiding things inside them
(Whoo-ooh-ooh)
When I grow old
(When I grow old)
I won't forget to find them
(I won't forget to find them)
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
(No roots)
I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots
I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
Oh, oh, oh, I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've got no roots but my own, was never on the ground
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
No roots
I've got no roots
(I've got no ro-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oots)
Oh, oh, oh, I've got no!
