Residents - The Vultures Of Bombay lyrics

rate me

On a chilly evening in the act of keeping warm<br />

Intuition told the prince of some impending harm<br />

And so he told his men what he had learned<br />

Using slickly coated wings that beat without a hum<br />

The vultures of Bombay are leaving today from a city - one by one<br />

And now I know they're flying straight to us<br />

A storm had ended and the early morning work was done<br />

The men were standing in the sand and looking at the sun<br />

Mesmerized by something up above<br />

The vultures came without a warning but without surprise<br />

The prince was playing on an organ - sadness in his eyes<br />

And once again he wondered what he'd done<br />

They followed us to Cairo<br />

They followed us to Rome<br />

My friends we need an ending<br />

Let us live at home<br />

Like a crippled dancer picking roses in the sun<br />

The prince of wayward men is singing singing to no one<br />

And of course no one is there to hear him sing<br />

I'd like to go to Cairo<br />

I'd like to go to Rome<br />

But traveling is just a bore<br />

If you are all alone<br />
