Oingo Boingo - Vultures Lyrics






Say boys and girls don't you want to have fun
Why bother to walk when you'd rather run
Why bother with books when you've got a gun
Come fly with me right into the sun
In another world, in another time
I can picture you and me together
If I close my eyes tight and think real hard
I can float lighter than a feather
If I try even harder who knows what I might find
Why maybe a pearl of wisdom
I would trade these pearls for a parcel of flesh
In flesh we were all invented
Is it time to play? said the ratboy to the ratgirl
Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill
In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
Looking for a big surprise
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture....
In another world, in another time
I can picture us a happy family

With our happy kids all flying all around
And leaving far behind the rat-race
Is it time to play? said the tortoise to the rabbit
Can we fly today, are we creatures all of habit
In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
Waiting for a big surprise
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture...
Say boys and girls don't you want to have fun
Why bother to crawl when you'd rather run
Why bother to walk when you'd rather fly
Come join the party way up in the sky
Is it time to play? said the ratboy to the ratgirl
Can we fly today, can we look here for some fresh kill
In concentric circles we'll carve up the sky
Looking for a big surprise
Fly like a vulture, fly like a vulture...

  1. S.... e....

    Change by Boingo album????

  2. S.... e....

    Beautiful song Oingo Boingo!!!

  3. M.... B....

    Gotta love Oingo Boingo... :)

  4. K.... ....

    If this was a track on an album of a better known band it would probably be one of those household tunes. Pure genius. Can't believe this wasn't ever featured "officially" on anything.

  5. D.... H....

    Everything dies sadly... Including fame I guess.

  6. H.... ....

    This is definitely one of the ones I really really regret not being on any official collection.  Thanks for posting. 

  7. M.... T....

    please explain to me how this and helpless were not on this album but the rest of the crap that was on the album made it

    M.... T....

    @Michael Thompson What about Find You and Remember My Name? I would also love to see those remastered.

    M.... T....

    Oh, and Take Your Medicine, and Elementary Physics?

    M.... T....

    I like Boingo a lot, though it is kind of depressing. Not crazy about "Pedestrian Wolves," though.

  8. L.... ....

    Too bad this song isn't on an official rarities collection!

  9. h.... ....

    LMAO "Boingoloids"!!

  10. S.... H....

    I don't believe it. You just introduced me to a Boingo song I'd never heard!!

  11. D.... ....

    There is no such thing as "crappy" Oingo Boingo.

    D.... ....

    Dink Yeah there is. Oingo Boingo ranges from absolutely awful to cosmically spectacular.

    D.... ....

    Latte Cat what boingo songs do you think are absolutely awful? Even ones i dont particularly like arent terrible to me so I am curious about your opinion

    D.... ....

    "Little Girls" is an abomination :D Don't get me wrong, I get that Mystic Knights and later just Oingo Boingo are very experimental and "out there." That's why their music varies so much. And I would say most of their stuff is towards the "cosmically spectacular" end of the scale. But some stuff is just bad.

  12. J.... H....

    It was suppose to come out with the "Boingo" Album in 1994 but didn't make the album.

  13. B.... D....

    When did this song come?

  14. m.... ....

    Why wasn't this on the record?! This is superior to The Walrus. This is "Boingo Arrived" music. All goodness (musicality, humor, orchestration...) is here. I don't know how you got this, but I can't stop re-loading. Thanks for posting!

  15. S.... C....

    @lakersbong DVDvideosoft program. Google it. ;)

  16. m.... ....

    whoa! How'd you get your hands on this! Thanks for posting

  17. B.... V....

    where can i find the HQ of this?

  18. V.... C....

    Boingoloids and Elfmaniacs of the world UNITE!!!!

  19. M.... ....

    I love everything about this! Thanks so much for posting!

  20. s.... ....

    I'm with Darth...not that Danny couldn't play a guitar, but that's a Bartek solo...you crazy, Moby.

  21. M.... ....

    Dude- it's not Steve Bartek- it's Danny Elfman

  22. J.... A....

    Musically, this is fantastic. I wonder why it didn't end up on the album?
