Vultures

[Not much discrepancy here, lyric wise. I did them both anyway, but there is only one set of lyrics repeated in the longer version, the rest of the time comes from the extra instrumental parts.]

Short Version

Say, boys and girls, don't you wanna 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 the rat boy to the rat girl
Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill
In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
Looking for our 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 our 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 wanna 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 yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh hey hey yeah yeah...

Oh, listen, tender lumplings
Let me take your little hand
I'll take you from this hellhole
To the promised land

But don't blame me, oh children
If those promises don't keep
'Cause promises, like lives
Can be bought so very cheap!
