Albatross

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck

You got a hundred broken lightbulbs above your head

They said that you had it coming but I wouldn't bet

'Cause you got a dozen ticking time bones, then you see red

Sunblind, sunblind

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck

You got a part of broken wishbones under your bed

And you got a hungry green-eyed monster that you keep fed

And it keeps on coming over, it wants you dead

Sunblind, sunblind

Oh, you burnt the lungs that your ancestors created

You sat by the banks of the river and you waited

Till time rolled back and the water had abated

You drank, you share but you still could not be sated

Quicksands of the mind and the sinkholes you may find

When you look through twisting of the vines, twisting of the vines

Time comes round again, it's etching at your bones

Chill wind comes round, it's blowing through your home

Quicksands of the mind and the sinkholes you may find

When you look through twisting of the vines, twisting of the vines

You burnt the lungs that your ancestors created

You sat by the banks of the river and you waited

Till time rolled back and the water had abated

You drank, you share but you still could not be sated

You said you're scared of the clocks which keep ticking over

You'll find a way through a life that we're living over

Again and again through a life that we're living over, again and again

A life that we're living over, again and again, again and again and again

Again and again, again and again and again
