lyrics

EYE OF THE VULTURE

begging for time
or some vague peace of mind
it's a big cannonball
gonna take to us all
it's like how do i know
where to look, where to go
when the big curtain falls
and we stumble down the hall

in the eye of the storm
in the eye of the vulture
we rise

and the light keeps shinin'
all along the line
into the corner of some
far gone dreamer's mind
this subtle wind
keeps me ever on the mend

lost in the wind
while we're out for a spin
it's like sometimes it's always
that same thing again
i don't mind, it's just fine
but i'll be taking my time
just to see how we act
when nothing else is on the line

in the eye of the storm
in the eye of the vulture
we rise

and the lie keeps rolling
further down the line
into that tunnel
where our ins and outs collide
this subtle wind
keeps me ever on the mend

a drifter? a dunce?
i played both more than once
it's the words, how they lay
and the ones in the way
that spell out every thought
whether valid or not
for the whole world to see
every last piece of me

in the eye of the storm
in the eye of the vulture
we rise
in the heart of the calm
in the heart of the vulture
we rise

and the light shines
all along the line
that sweet divide
where our ins and outs collide
this subtle wind
keeps us ever on the mend
i'm on my way
to another sort of day...
