Tear me down off this precipice Where nothing can grow Where me and the vultures live Blow away this cold stone Let me down from this overhang Where me and the vultures live Push me from this safe perch Where no one can get me Where me and the vultures live Every day more rock is blown away Till I is balancing on one toe Where me and the vultures live Clean, clean my bones in the desert sand Claw me away, I am dust in your hand Where me and the vultures live Where me and the vultures live Where me and the vultures live Claw me away, I am dust in your hand
