    Story Behind the Song
    A harrowing journey through the landscape of one man's mind. Desolation, memory and misstaken spiritualty haunt this character as he bounds between nostalgia's barbs and the madness of his own troubling shame.

    Lyrics

    Hell is mean
    It's kind of dreary in here
    the walls are made of grey enamel paint
    I got a memory from 1963
    he was blown away in a motorcade
    and is not coming back
    Oh, the pity and the shame
    Swooping down on me
    Like a Vulture at sea (3)

    He sits on a park bench
    waiting for the next reincarnated soul
    to appear
    His arms are made of concrete
    and his hands are made of elastic
    and he hugs you so he can feel some kind of heart

    Swinging boards and golf clubs at you
    his eyes are made of mallets, brick and insect bites
    he'll penetrate your soul
    for a pound of gold and says
    And says, let's join hands and ride into the night
    we'll wipe away all the disease
    that's swooping down on me
    Like a vulture at sea (3)

    How's the barbarian doing?
    Is he still living off his cornflakes
    eating cornflakes for breakfast
    and drinking brandy for lunch
    There are too many morons here
    and way to much severity
    the whole damn city seems so harsh
    yet I can't get enough
    swooping down on me
    swooping down on me

    He builds a dam made out of paper and feathers
    shoves cotton candy in my ear for effect
    reads to me the thoughts of Lao Tzu
    just to watch my head spin around from the after-effects
    Swooping down on me
    Swooping down on me
    like a vulture at sea(3)
