The Vulture

[Verse 1]
Are you tethered to this misery?
Did you inherit an anvil birthright
Or can you kick yourself free?
You 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?

[Chorus]
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 hourglass
The time slipping through our hands
Can we turn it upside-down?
And dance on the sand
Dance on the sand

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
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 hourglass
The time slip-slipping through our hands
Can we turn it upside-down?
And dance on the sand
Dance on the sand

[Outro]
I 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 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 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 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
