Vultures, August 20th, 2025

Vultures
Driving down my street.
Vultures
Wanna buy my Jeep.

Vultures
Down at the County
Vultures
Want all my amounty.

Vultures
In Sacramento
Vultures
Want every cento.

Vultures
At the IRS
Vultures
Take the rest.

Vultures
Down at the hospital
Vultures
Takin’ all that’s possible.

Vultures
At the nursing home
Vultures
Take you down to the bone.

Vultures
Waitin’ for me to die.
Vultures
With that gleam in their eye.
Chorus:

But I ain’t dead yet
No plans to be
Gonna stay alive
For all eternity

Gonna fight every day
And all night through.
Not slip away
For this vulture crew.

But the vultures all know
It’s all a show
And they’re all ready
For when I go.

They spread their wings
And lick their beaks.
I’m outta Springs
And my plumbin’ leaks.

Vultures
Waitin’ on the branches
Vultures
I’m outta second chances.

Vultures
Gonna take my eyes.
Vultures
Gonna be surprised.

Vultures
Ain’t gonna find me.
Vultures
I’ll be history.
Vultures
Wanderin’ round my place
Vultures
Don’t know I’m in space.

Took a rocket to the moon
And there I lie.
My money in my pocket
My eyes on the sky.

I rest in peace
There on the moon.
No vulture, no tax
No government poltroon.

My Jeep is beside me.
My ring on my finger.
Life flows away
It will not linger.

And that’s the end of my sad story.
No girl, no medals, damn sure no glory.
But it’s nice up here on the moon.
See ya’ll later.
See ya real soon.
