Vultures lyrics
by Oingo Boingo
Say, boys and girls, don't you want to have fun?
Why bother to walk when you'd rather run?
Why bother with books when you've got a gun?
Come fly with me right into the sun
In another world, in another time
I can picture you and me together
If I close my eyes tight and think real hard
I can float lighter than a feather
If I try even harder, who knows what I might find
Why maybe a pearl of wisdom
I would trade these pearls for a parcel of flesh
In flesh we were all invented
"Is it time to play?"
Said thе rat boy to the rat girl
"Can we fly today?"
"Can we look hеre for some fresh kill?"
In concentric circles, we'll carve up the sky
Looking for a big surprise
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
In another world, in another time
I can picture us a happy family
With our happy kids all flying all around
And leaving far behind the rat-race
"Is it time to play?"
Said the tortoise to the rabbit
"Can we fly today?"
"Are we creatures all of habit?"
In concentric circles, we'll carve up the sky
Waiting for a big surprise
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
Say boys and girls, don't you want to have fun?
Why bother to crawl when you'd rather run?
Why bother to walk when you'd rather fly?
Come join the party way up in the sky
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture
Fly like a vulture
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhhh
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh listen, tender lumplings, let me take your little hand
I'll take you from this hellhole to the promised land
Ooh, but don't blame me, oh children, if those promises don't keep
'Cause promises like lies can be bought so very cheap
