Here Come the Vultures

歌詞

I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we’ve come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I’m not in it for the fun of it but for the pain I’m not at all interested in your temporary fame I just want to see you stare As I lay my soul bare for you to crush upon with heavy feet I’m in it for the beat Stranger the faces Stranger the places They’re becoming us Here come the vultures Here come the vultures Heading over us It’s just a black murder of crows Across the sky The moon announces that it will soon be night The light dies down The spot goes on As loveless lips Break into song I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we’ve come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I’m not in it for the fun of it but for the pain I’m not at all interested in your temporary fame And the same old song we sing Here’s to the ghost We still seem to host How he’s becoming us Here come the vultures Here come the vultures Screaming down at us They said you can not sing the blues When you’re pretty and young Let me show you a face that fits to neither one This heart is black like blood that has dried This song is blue Like bruises bright I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we’ve come too far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I’m not in it for the fun of it but for the pain I’m not at all interested in your temporary fame And the same old song we sing Murder of crows across the sky The moon announces that it will soon be night Fog closes in And all I see All empty eyes Through silent screams I once had an understanding that everything would go my way But now we’ve come to far along for me to hold on to my own beliefs I’m in it for the beat
