Phideaux Vultures & Mosquitoes Lyrics

Vultures wait in the everglades
Staying very still they can calculate our fate:
Danger
Mosquitoes wait for the candidate
Staying very still though they undulate, they crave:
Strangers

But it's all they know
It's all that comes through
It's all they know
And all that consumes with a violence
It comes through in the silence

I want you to know
I want you

Vultures fly over passersby
With a hunting eye that is never dry and cries
When it's all through
Mosquitoes wait in the Bering straits
Hover high and low over frozen space
Hearts can freeze too And it's all you know
It's all that comes through you
It's all you know
And all that consumes you with violence
It comes through you in silence

Vultures down in the underground
In a tunnel where they are often found
Surrounded but alone
Mosquitoes swarm until early dawn
With a life so short they can not afford
Delaying, playing, saying, praying

'Cuz it's all they know
And all that comes through you
And all that consumes you in the silence
It comes through you with violence

I want you to know
I want you
