lyrics

Vultures


Do you believe in the weather?

Do you believe in gold?

Do you believe in a life together?

Do you believe we’ll grow old?



Do you believe in signs of the times?

Do you believe in trust?

Do you believe in psychic crimes?

Do you believe in lust?



You can believe in your own legend

Believe in your own fame 

You can believe in hell or heaven 

You’ll pay the piper just the same




Believe what you will

Believe what you will

The vultures show up at your door

Lay them out a feast 

They only ask for more

They’ll eat the meat off your bones

and never be satisfied

Leave you lying in the road

Looking for the next thing that died

There are vultures at the windows of your soul

Trying to get inside

Pecking at the fragile glass
trying to find a hole

So shine a light and watch them take flight
What will you? What will you?

What will you believe?




Do you believe You’re in charge?

Do you believe you’re poor?

Do you believe just a little bit?

Do you believe in more, more, more!?



You can believe in the police man

You can believe the gun

Do we believe he did it?

Or an innocent on the run?



Do you believe they’ll shoot?

Or stop when you raise your hands?

Do you believe in the future youth

and the destiny of man?




Believe what you will

Believe what you will

The vultures show up at your door

Lay them out a feast 

They only ask for more

They’ll eat the meat off your bones

and never be satisfied

Leave you lying in the road

Looking for the next thing that died

There are vultures at the windows of your soul

Trying to get inside

Pecking at the fragile glass
trying to find a hole

So shine a light and watch them them take flight

What will you?
 What will you?



What will you believe?

Do you believe in the government?

What the preacher’s saying on TV?

Do you believe in the firmament?

Stars as far as we can see?



Do you believe in the terror?

Do you believe they’ll cut?

Do you believe in a higher power?

Do you believe your gut?



You can believe in anything

made up or found

You can believe in what you sing

in rhythm and sound




Believe what you will
Believe what you will

The vultures show up at your door

Lay them out a feast 

They only ask for more

They’ll eat the meat off your bones

and never be satisfied

Leave you lying in the road

Looking for the next thing that died

There are vultures at the windows of your soul

Trying to get inside

Pecking at the fragile glass
trying to find a hole

So shine a light and watch them take flight

What will you?
 What will you?
What will you believe?
