Buzzards

Spent last night in handcuffs
 For merely existing
 Arrested for assault and resisting
 I hear a christmas choir
 Somewhere far away
 Carried by the traffic on the expressway
 And i
 Have seen them circle around my head
 And i
 Know they'll get me in the end
 The sleet's been coming down
 The falling stars
 High above the lights of the pubs and the bars
 Rows of beautiful people
 Theyre all perfectly framed
 Like ghosts in the windows
 Of the trains
 And i
 Have seen them circle around my head
 And i
 Know they'll get me in the end
 There's a halo of buzzards over my head
 There's a halo of buzzards over my head
 My breath escapes me
 A phantom silver haze
 Containing the life blood
 I'm trying to save
 I'm losing density
 And i need some rest
 I pull my coat tightly around what's left
 And i
 Have seen them circle around my head
 And i
 Know they'll get me in the end
 There's a halo of buzzards over my head
 There's a halo of buzzards over my head
 Down into the subway
 Floating down the stairs
 I'll avert my gaze and pay the fare
 I caught my own reflection in a window pane
 But after all these years i look the same
 And i
 Have seen them circle around my head
 And i
 Know they'll get me in the end
 There's a halo of buzzards over my head
 Yeah there's a halo of buzzards over my head
 Halo of buzzards over my head
 There's a halo of buzzards over my head
