Bird of Prey

There's a mountain in my mouth I don't know what I'm saying There's a splinter in my eye Don't know who I am betraying And time will heal these wounds But no one can tell me when Last night I needed God Baby I just needed a friend But I didn't know this bird of prey I didn't know this bird of prey Would be circling everyday I've seen the lightning strikes Over the eastern seas Roamed the frozen tundras And felt the arctic breeze And touched the morning dew Under the London sun I've been a refugee Walking on the war scorched sands But I didn't know this bird of prey I didn't know this bird of prey Would be watching me everyday Jesus make these rivers To drown all the sinners To drown all the sinners To drown all the sinners I've been waiting for him A thousand frozen winters A thousand frozen winters A thousand frozen winters And I didn't know this bird of prey I didn't know this bird of prey Would be eating my bones away Are you going back to rehab Are you patching up your bleeding heart with pills Or are you going back to Vegas With your rolled up twenty dollar bills But I didn't know this bird of prey I didn't know this bird of prey Would be eating my life away Eating my life away
