Vultures & Mosquitoes -

Vultures wait in the everglades staying very still

They can calculate your fate:

Danger

Mosquitoes wait for the candidate staying very still

Though they undulate they crave strangers

But it’s all they know

It’s all that comes through

It’s all they know

And all that consumes with a violence

It comes through in the silence

I want you to know

I want you

Vultures fly over passersby with a hunting eye

That is never dry and cries when it’s all through

Mosquitoes wait in the Bering straits hover high and low

Over frozen space afraid hearts can freeze too

And it’s all you know

It’s all that comes through you

It’s all you know

And all that consumes you with violence

It comes through you in silence

Vultures down in the underground

In a tunnel where they are often found

Surrounded but alone

Mosquitoes swarm until early down

With a life so short they can not afford

Delaying, playing, saying, praying

Cos it’s all they know and all that comes through you

It’s all you know

And all that consumes you in the silence

It comes through you with violence

I want you to know

I want you
