Bird Of Prey

There's a mountain in my mouth
I don't know what I'm saying
There's a splinter in my eye
Don't know who I am betraying

And time will heal these wounds
But no one can tell me when
Last night I needed God
Baby I just needed a friend

But I didn't know this bird of prey
I didn't know this bird of prey
Would be circling everyday

I've seen the lightning strikes
Over the eastern seas
Roamed the frozen tundras
And felt the arctic breeze

And touched the morning dew
Under the London sun
I've been a refugee
Walking on the war scorched sands

But I didn't know this bird of prey
I didn't know this bird of prey
Would be watching me everyday

Jesus make these rivers
To drown all the sinners
To drown all the sinners
To drown all the sinners

I've been waiting for him
A thousand frozen winters
A thousand frozen winters
A thousand frozen winters

And I didn't know this bird of prey
I didn't know this bird of prey
Would be eating my bones away

Are you going back to rehab
Are you patching up your bleeding heart with pills
Or are you going back to Vegas
With your rolled up twenty dollar bills

But I didn't know this bird of prey
I didn't know this bird of prey
Would be eating my life away
Eating my life away
