Seems lately I cry at the drop of a hat And I want to lash out but you're not here to lash out at And I want a moment not to even consider the odds And I want to place a kiss, full on the mouth of God I welcome the pain of conflict for the joy of resolution Embrace the problem for the peace of solution And claim the injustice for the thrill of revolution (chorus) It's in the air, it's as hot as Atlanta burning Be careful. Beware It's a deep-rooted call, it's a deep-rooted yearning I am a master of disguise, I am resilient And the winged spirits talk to me And their messages are brilliant Cause I can creep right in and I can sit right down And I can slip right out before you know I've been Around this block a time or two And if you won't hold it against me, I won't hold it against you (chorus) The vultures are circling and they're waiting for me to die And I laugh my best laugh cause I know their last meal will be humble pie I'll be their dyke-like darling, be nocturnal release 'Til they find they want more And when they're done with their feeding and I've stopped my bleeding I'll grab my bloody boot strap and pull up off the floor
