keep on fighting the good fight peoples. the vultures are indeed everywhere. john's new cd is good, not as good as that live one that he put out just before continium, but...

here's the words...


Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me

Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it

    Vampire
    We don't like to see you prosper
    Only like to see you suffer
    Vampire

    Vampire
    Only trod upon creation
    With your bloody meditation

    Fight against upfullness
    Gonna fight against creation
    Gonna fight against everything good for the younger generation

    Vampire
    Gonna wickedness at midnight
    And now humble when it's daylight

    Vampires
    Only like to see blood running
    Make sure you know it's fire burning

    I wanna fight against upfullness
    Fight against creation
    You fight against everything good for the younger generation

    Vampire
    Only trod upon creation
    Sucking the blood of the nation

    Vampires
    Gonna drink up the old wine
    Have no place for the new wine

    Gonna fight against morality
    You fight against integrity
    Fight against everything good for the younger generation

    Vampire
    Gonna trod upon creation
    With your bloody meditation

    Vampires
    Doing wickedness at midnight
    And now humble when it's daylight

    Vampire
    Gonna .... ...Fire burial ... hippocrate the world
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
