John Budrevo - Vultures

There's a thought in the back of my mind
And it tells me that I'm mistaken
Once I thought I was no longer blind
But my safety has now been shaken
I detect that I'm back on the road
And I need one more destination
On my back there's a new heavy load
And I carry it to the station
Find a city without pity
Where they laugh at your decay
Where the sidewalks aren't too pretty
Where your thoughts are led astray
On my way I just stare at the sun
And I force it to change its color
Can't you see there's a man on the run
Why do you think that you should follow?
And the stars when they come out at night
I don't need them now for my guidance
And the bars in the fading twilight
They are no option for my hiding
Find a city without pity
Where they laugh at your decay
Where the sidewalks aren't too pretty
Where your thoughts are led astray
Find a city without answers
Where they gamble for your skin
Where there's only one opinion
And the lawyers sit and grin
Vultures all around me
They will track down all the souls
That have been washed away
Vultures all around me
And I'm left here to explore
How they have won the day
Vultures still descending
In a never-ending comedy
Of pain and guilt
Vultures run for power
The eleventh hour now
Has come, don't fade away
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
