歌词
This is called The Vulture
And a lot of people think it's a poem
And after they hear me sing it they're sure it's a poem
But, uh
We're gonna take a shot at it anyway
♪
Remember this is a feel like thing
Do whatever you feel like
If you feel like clapping your hands
You can do that
♪
Standing in the ruins
Oh, of another black man's life
♪
Or flying through the valley
There, separating day and night
♪
"I am death", cried the vulture
"Yes, for the people of the light"
♪
Charon brought his raft
Then came from a sea that sails on souls
♪
I saw the scavenger departing
Oh, taking warm hearts to the cold
♪
He knew the ghetto was a haven
For the meanest creature ever known
♪
In a wilderness of heartbreak
Yes and a desert of despair
♪
Evil's clarion of justice
Oh, shrieks a cry of naked terror
♪
He's taking babies from their mamas
And leaving grief beyond compare
♪
You see the vulture coming
And he's flying circles in your mind
♪
There'll be no escaping
For he will follow close behind
♪
Only promised me a battle
Yeah, a battle for your soul and mine
Your soul and mine
He's taking babies from their mamas
And he's leaving
Leaving
Leaving
Leaving
Leaving
♪
Thank you, that's called The Vulture
