Scavenger

(album: When Night Becomes Day - 2015)

Have you written me off?
Have you pegged me a fool?
Once you were close to me; now we could never be
And maybe I had it wrong
Or maybe I was dead on
How could it ever be simple and carefree, oh?

Oh, I don't know why
But you always come around
Every time there is coin
Just enough to go around
Scavenger, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Once you'd written me off
And you pegged me a fool
But now you come back to me, broken and stumbling
And we got caught in the game
With poisoned words, we blamed
How could this ever be simple and carefree?
And I know it's harder than it seems
To always feel stuck in between
The start and where you want to be, oh

Oh, I don't know why
But you always come around
Every time there is coin
Just enough to go around
Scavenger, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

And I know it's harder than it seems
To always feel stuck in between
The start and where you want to be, oh, oh

Oh, oh I don't know why
But you always come around
Every time there is coin
Just enough to go around
Scavenger, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Scavenger, you come to me
You tell your lies between your teeth
After all I've seen and all I've done
Will you catch me when I'm on the run?
