Vulture

I leave the gate and close the door

And when it rains it really pours

I left her a memory

And a boatman's song

Of how it ended before it had begun

Took a bite from the apple

Glistening red lips

Moonlight was golden shining off her hip

She said don't look back

Just come on in

You've got to hold on never give in

We're all here

Trying to be

Someone we know that

We'll never see.

We are all lost

We're down on our knees

Making believe

These are our dreams

The shadows lean on the old town square

There's nothing left to keep me here

Where promises are made of air

When did you drink

Your freedom like wine

It's not as bitter

On the other side

We are all lost

We're down on our knees

Making believe

These are our dreams

How we really are

How we've always been

We're giving it all

But we're still caving in

So how do you dream

How do you think

Still giving it all

You'll give anything

There's nothing left to keep me here

Where promises are made of air
