Vultures

John Mayer · Where The Light Is (Live in Los Angeles) [2008]

Some of us, we're hardly ever here

The rest of us, we're born to disappear

How do I stop myself from being just a number

How will I hold my head to keep from going under?



Down to the wire

I wanted water

But I'll walk through the fire

If this is what it takes

To take me even higher

Then I'll come through

Like I do, when the world keeps

Testing me, testing me, testing me



How did they find me here?

What do they want from me?

All of these vultures hiding

Right outside my door

I hear them whisperin'

They're tryin to ride it out

They've never gone this long

Without a kill before



Down to the wire

I wanted water

But I'll walk through the fire

If this is what it takes

To take me even higher

Then I'll come through

Like I do, when the world keeps

Testing me, testing me, testing me



Wheels up

I got to leave this evening

I can't seem to shake these vultures

Out of my trail

Powers is made, by power being taken

So, I keep on running to protect my situation



Down to the wire

I wanted water

But I'll walk through the fire

If this is what it takes

To take me even higher

Then I'll come through

Like I do, when the world keeps

Testing me, testing me, testing me



Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Oooooh

Whatcha gonna do about it

Whatcha gonna do about it

Whatcha gonna do about it
