"Vultures" lyrics
John Mayer Trio Lyrics
"Vultures"
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 whispering
They're trying to ride it out
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
I 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 [4x]
What you gonna do about it? [3x]
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Thanks to Mary for adding these lyrics.

Norah Jones - "Shoot The Moon" The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew...
Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real - "Little Girl" Don't let your memories bring you down
Your heart is bigger than this town
Put a way back in your mind
There's plenty love for you to find
Don't let your dreams fall down the drain
I saw you crying...
Kings Of Leon - "Notion" I got a notion to say what doesn't feel right
Got an answer in your story today
It gave me a sign that didn't feel right, no
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock...
JJ Grey & Mofro - "Orange Blossoms" Well I snuck to her window to leave her a note
Will you come meet me at the back of the grove?
All the trees were in bloom that sweet smell in the air
We were trebling together we were young we were...
Blues Traveler - "Sweet Talking Hippie" Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know I want more
Don't run off
Don't you be afraid of me
You know you are what you made you baby
I am what I try to...
