(J. Campbell)
I have a vulture for a pet and he lives on a telephone pole
You can see him in the sky above me
Soaring on those sexy warm thermals
I never feed him directly. [No no no]
They clean up after me [yo yo yo]
Sometimes I start to feel nervous [so so so]
my vulture’s getting hungry
When It’s time to be fed
His cavity growls
And I can smell the dead
My pet vulture loves a three dog night
Aloft and soaring
hardly flapping their wings
Never joining to sing
They’ve got no syrinx
Cathartes aura is a carrion crow
unrelated to the world of old
It looks the same, but only because
convergent evolution, or so I’m told
I never feed them directly. [No no no]
They clean up after me [yo yo yo]
Sometimes I start to feel guilty [so so so]
The population’s growing
When It’s time to be fed
His cavity growls
And I can smell the dead
My pet vulture is out of sight
Now I’m old and aging
They circle above me
and as I drift into sleep
I hear him hissing
I awaken to light
as my dinner guests fly away.
