While in the streets of all our fears
|
They reign supreme as orders go
|
They are the last to have their say
|
And last to know it doesn't matter how you try
|
It doesn't matter what you say
|
They always watch with hollow eyes
|
To put you down they always find a way to criticise
|
|
Chorus I:
|
|
The vultures fly high
|
They circle over us all
|
The vultures fly high
|
I'll take your hand if you fall
|
|
All those who sheltered in their smile
|
Are scattered here from yesterday
|
And if the weak are left behind
|
They have to pay and though you haven't much to give
|
You know they take it, yours and mine
|
Sometimes it looks as though we lose
|
But then in time the finger points at them
|
The next in line
|
|
Repeat Chorus I
|
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
Chorus II:
|
|
The vultures fly high
|
They circle over us all
|
The lonely sigh
|
I'll take your hand if you fall
|
|
Repeat Chorus II twice
|
