Animals and Scavengers Lyrics

We're animals we're scavengers

The city's got us thinking

The waters rise its getting worse

New Orleans is sinking

Do you're make up grab your purse

And head on up for high ground

Yeah do your makeup do you worst

We're taking off from this town

Check the tires, fill that tank

And head on up for high ground

Wave at harry smile at hank

Making tracks for fuckin' high ground

You lock your problems up in my vault

Convince yourself that its all my fault

Tell yourself

So sit right down and pay your bills

Watch them slip right through your fingers

Drink your wine and pop your pills

As the fear of losing lingers

So you went out dating found a mate

Pulled one in hook line and sinker

But where are they while you're away

She'll find someone to dine and drink her

So change the tires check the tank

And head on up for high ground

Wave and smile at jane and hank

Makin' god damn tracks for high ground

You lock your problems up in my vault

Convince yourself that its all my fault

Tell yourself this never happened

Pass off all the blame you can't take

I can feel the fear inside you

Rolling through your veins

We watch the waters rise

As we climb towards the sun

We perforate the skies

Every zero, every one

The light directs your eyes

Down the barrel of a gun

Till your vision meets with mine

And you're stuck with what you've done

What you've done

Cause we're animals we're scavengers

And its clouding up my minds eye

The limousines all look like hearses

And we're all doin' drive bys

So wave in jane and smile at hank

And head on up for high ground

Leaving harry with an empty tank

Making fucking tracks for high ground

You lock your problems up in my vault

Convince yourself that its all my fault

Tell yourself this never happened

Pass off all the blame you can't take

I can feel the fear inside you

Rolling through your veins
