vultures

Singer: mayer, john

some of us

we're hardly ever here

the rest of us

we're born to disappear

how do i stop myself from being just a number

how will i hold my head to keep from going under

down to the wire

i wanted water

but i'll walk through the fire

if this is what it takes to take me even higher

then i'll come through

like i do

when the world keeps testing me

testing me

testing me

how did they find me here?

what do they want from me?

all of these vultures hiding right outside my door

i hear them whispering

they're trying to ride it out

they've never gone this long without a kill before

down to the wire

i wanted water

but i'll walk through the fire

if this is what it takes to take me even higher

then i'll come through

like i do

when the world keeps testing me

testing me

testing me

wheels up

i got to leave this evening

i can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail

power is made by power being taken

so i keep on running to protect my situation

down to the wire

i wanted water

but i'll walk through the fire

if this is what it takes to take me even higher

then i'll come through

like i do

when the world keeps testing me

testing me

oooooooooooo

what you gonna do about it?

don't give up

give up

don't give up

give up

give up

don't give up

give up

don't give up

give up

give up
