They come around when you are on your knees Surrounding one by one, taking what you need Your mouth is dry as you lay down Begging for those vultures to set you free Vultures pick your bones, pick them so clean Bathing in your tears of misery for years They take you for everything you have Consuming you 'til there's nothing of you left Only God knows what's wrong with me They show up when you stink and rot Taking everything that's precious to your heart When you have been stripped down Vultures fly away, thorns in your crown Only God knows what's wrong Only God knows what's wrong with me Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Vultures circle all around you They come to take your soul across the river They only come around when things are wrong They only come around when you got what they want Only God knows what's wrong Only God knows what's wrong with me Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Vultures circle all around you They come to take your soul across the river Vultures circle all around you They come to take your soul across the river Vultures circle all around you They come to take your soul across the river
