Sly fox caught between the sword and the fence
And ya, he's losin' bets on who's first to be surrounded
Climbed the wall to find himself in the trenches that I'm in
And I'm not losin' out on this war when he's surrounded

And we're livin' it now
It's lightning trapped in clouds
You'll be lost to the bloodhounds

Breathing while underneath birds
I said I really wouldn't mind, said I wouldn't really mind
Reading aloud to the earth
I said I really wouldn't mind, shit, I wouldn't really mind

They're always watching you
Why knock for you?
Symphony's cry for you
Why knock for you?

He moves in like a shadow's ceiling
In the moonlight of the kitchen
Of Sunday's star dinner
Ooh, smell it when you walk in

And we're livin' it now
It's lightning trapped in clouds
You'll be lost to the bloodhounds

Breathing while underneath birds
I said I really wouldn't mind, said I wouldn't really mind
Reading aloud to the earth
I said I really wouldn't mind, shit, I wouldn't really mind

I can't breathe in there
I need some air
I can't breathe in there
I need some air
I can't breathe in there
I need some air
I can't breathe in there
I need some air

They're always watching you
Why knock for you?
Symphony's cry for you
Why knock for you?
