drums on a saturday

    a host of vultures on the thermals glide
    seeking dead bodies on the living rock
    nature provides but few places to hide

    from peak to lowland we won't make the slide
    a tree or bush our downward path will block
    a host of vultures on the thermals glide

    reality is what we can't elide
    the living on the gravestones have to knock
    nature provides but few places to hide

    upon the highroad those on muleback ride
    driving before them thirsty herd or flock
    a host of vultures on the thermals glide

    in this odd place we cannot long abide
    we've barely got the time just to take stock
    nature provides but few places to hide

    the roads we walk on have no room for pride
    we're governed by the calendar and clock
    a host of vultures on the thermals glide
    nature provides but few places to hide
