Lyrics Nicole Atkins

Nicole Atkins

Vultures

Careful where you walk

Remain in the light

Watch where death resides

It'll find you from all sides

Vultures circle in

Heavy like a stone

They take all they can get

Until you're dirt and bones

Their bullet's the coin

Their bullet's the bomb

Their bullet's disease

Their calling card, their song

My bullet's to grow

Penniless and old

I take all I can get

Until I'm dirt and bones

Take all they want now they lick from a bone

I can disappear from who I'd like to be

Simply run away, hide behind the sea

Vultures circle in heavy like a stone

They take all they can get

Take all they can get

Take all they can get

Take all they can get until you're dirt and bones

Sometimes the past can weigh on me until I can't breathe

Ahead there is a tiny star that even I can see
