Vultures

Vultures Lyrics

Some of us we're hardly ever here
The rest of us
We're born to disappear
How do I stop myself
From being just a number?
How will I hold my head
To keep from goin' under?

(chorus)
Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testin' me
Testin' me, Testin' me...

How did they find me?
And what do they want from me?
All of these vultures
Hidin' right outside my door

I hear them whisperin'
They're tryin' to ride it out
'Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before

(chorus)
Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testin' me
Testin' me, Testin' me...

Wheels up, I got to leave this evenin'
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail

Power is made by power bein' taken
So I keep on runnin'
To protect my situation

(chorus)
Down to the wire
I wanted water
But I walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testin' me
Testin' me, Testin' me...

Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?
Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?
Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?
