Spinning in Daffodils

Them Crooked Vultures

once, there in the rain
i was able to strangle my shadow
unshackle the chain
once, what will you do
is it safe to play god in the garden
and king of the zoo
holes, that need to be filled
positions available yet some working hard to get out of them
spinning in the daffodils
dizzy from a dozen twirls
spinning in the daffodils
come, alone and alive
you're afraid but that's not what i asked
why not go for a ride?
sharpen your teeth my darlings
sharpen your minds
take a finger off the hand
seize your shit, take one scalp at a time
fans, they're as big as the wind
like a canine that chases the bone
that's tied to its tail
i wish, i was a beautiful balloon
i could rise up, above it all
and fade out of view.
gracefully fade out of view
what have you turned into?
spinning in the daffodils
dizzy from a dozen twirls
spinning in the daffodils
so high, i just may never come down
i'm so high, i just may never come down
i'm so high, i just may never come down...
