lyrics

The pearly gates were meant for me on earth
As I process everything as if it stretched back to my messy birth
Can't leave a trace of evidence of interest in unleaded float
I'll be damned if I do but even more damned if I don't
And if these nights still linger, business as usual for me
I'm progressive enough to keep myself in good company 'cause

I'm a vulture

The melting pot, I stuff my talons right in
I thought I had to fear my enemies but it was really friends
I was too eager to watch myself get hurt
But there's injury for supper mixed with insult for dessert
But no more of this feeding frenzy upon my bones
I'm only here to make you suffer
I suppose you should've known that

I'll fly away from the affection ten miles in the wrong direction
Got a lifetime guarantee to circle endlessly
I'll fly around the clueless bodies of the lifeless jocks and hotties
Ever since I'd opened shop I've never planned to stop

The garden grove where I proclaim my victory
A shrouding bit of proof that I can conquer absolutely nobody
And I fell off the planet the very moment that I landed
One too many times backhanded and I'll never understand it

I'll fly away from the affection in the opposite direction
I'll fill in for someone else but never for myself
I'll fly around unknowing victims, only truth is when I trick them
Keeping everybody vexed as to what I'll do next
I'll fly against the wind and rain, I always fly against the grain
I'll fly around the sun and bring back souvenirs for everyone
I'll fly so high, you'll never see me soaring through the sky
I don't know why I fly but I'll keep trying 'til the day I die
