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
