Animals and Scavengers

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
