The Vulture Songtext
von Dave Hause

Are you tethered to this misery?
Did you inherit an anvil birthright, or can you kick yourself free?
You′ve got an eye on the land and an eye on the deep green sea
Will you follow the fathoms down when your rowboat springs a leak?

Did I trouble your mind?
Is the vulture in the tree?
Will I leave you behind with a head full of bumblebees?
There's a black cloud hourglass
And time is slipping through our hands
Can you turn it upside down and dance on the sand?
Dance on the sand

Did I drop red dye in the pool?
I heard you grinding away your teeth last night trying to keep yourself cool
Did I pass you down my American appetite?
The tunnel is long and it′s filled with mud can we claw towards the light?


Did I trouble your mind?
Is the vulture in the tree?
Will I leave you behind with a head full of bumblebees?
There's a black cloud hourglass
And time slips, slipping through our hands
Can we turn it upside down and dance on the sand?
Dance on the sand

I'll stay worried you′ll stay worried
These are the stones that make our stream
So row row row the leaky boat boys, life is but a dream
I′ll stay worried you'll stay worried
These are the stones that make our stream
So row row row the leaky boat boys, life is but a dream
I′ll stay worried you'll stay worried
These are the stones that make our stream
So row row row the leaky boat boys, life is but a dream
I′ll stay worried you'll stay worried
We′re floating down the stream
Row row row the leaky boat boys, life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
