Vultures & Mosquitoes Lyrics

Vultures wait in the everglades

Staying very still they can calculate our 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

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 dawn

With a life so short they can not afford

Delaying, playing, saying, praying



'Cuz it's all they know

And all that comes through you

And all that consumes you in the silence

It comes through you with violence



I want you to know

I want you
