The Vultures Of Bombay Lyrics

The Vultures Of Bombay lyrics

On a chilly evening in the act of keeping warm
Intuition told the prince of
some impending harm
And so he told his men what he had learned
Using
slickly coated wings that beat without a hum
The vultures of Bombay are
leaving today from a city - one by one
And now I know they're flying
straight to us
A storm had ended and the early morning work was done
The
men were standing in the sand and looking at the sun
Mesmerized by something
up above
The vultures came without a warning but without surprise
The
prince was playing on an organ - sadness in his eyes
And once again he
wondered what he'd done
They followed us to Cairo
They followed us to
Rome
My friends we need an ending
Let us live at home
Like a crippled
dancer picking roses in the sun
The prince of wayward men is singing singing
to no one
And of course no one is there to hear him sing
I'd like to go to
Cairo
I'd like to go to Rome
But traveling is just a bore
If you are
all alone
