I ain’t carrion carry-out, yet!
[Verse 1]
Suddenly, there were six…
Maybe seven
Vultures hovering over me
Not clear what they could see
But, clearly troubling to me
[Bridge]
Troubling
Down doubling
I’ll stick around
[Chorus]
Out-of-my-head
I said
I’m not dead
At least you can bet,
Not yet
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]
[Verse 2]
At least six
Maybe seven…
In my head, I said
“Am I going to heaven”
It’s hard to tell, this could be….
Troubling
[Bridge]
Troubling
Doubling down
On sticking around
[Chorus]
Out-of-my-head
I said
I’m not dead
At least you can bet,
Not yet
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass]
[Verse 3]
At least six
Maybe seven…
Wait!
[Break]
Eight!
The rate…
is troubling
[Bridge]
Troubling
Doubling down
On sticking around
[Chorus]
Out-of-my-head
I said
I’m not dead
At least you can bet,
Not yet
[Outro]
Troubling
Doubling down
On stickin’ ’round
A SCIENCE NOTE
Vultures primarily eat carrion, which is the decaying flesh of dead animals. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by cleaning up dead animal remains, thus preventing the spread of diseases. Vultures are scavengers and have highly acidic stomachs that allow them to safely digest putrid and contaminated meat, including bones and hides. They typically feed on:
- Large mammals: Such as deer, cattle, and other livestock.
- Small mammals: Including rodents and smaller animals.
- Birds: Both wild and domestic, if they come across their carcasses.
- Reptiles and amphibians: Occasionally, if the opportunity arises.
Different species of vultures may prefer different types of carrion, but their primary diet consists of dead and decaying animal flesh.
