about

what vultures want to say to you

lyrics

carrion birds are circling outside the car
i look up and wonder just where we are
those birds are singing "it's time to die"
coaxing and wheedling--"come on, come on and try!"

and they tell me it's easy to go
to lay down the host
drop the body
keep the ghost

it's a blue-green glorious day!
i thought i had many things to say
(but maybe i don't)

(chorus)

we know life is rough; look at us

and they tell me it's easy to go
to lay down the host
drop the body
keep the ghost
(give up the ghost)
