Hold on
There's a storm coming
Stay face down, face down
One hand tightly eager
And we were reaching for the sky away
Don't drown, don't drown

Wait December and all
Let's remember
Is it disaster, disaster?
He see me hide out to the ground
And the only thing he hear is 
Laughter, laughter

Do I really wanna take this song?
Do I really wanna play that song?
I've seen you against him
I've seen him against her
I've seen too many birds shot down
Too many birds shot down
Shot down in flight

Hey, hey, hey 
Now that you're rolling in the money
You take more, take more
Love is enough when time is ticking
And soon you're gonna find that you're 
A faker, a faker

You've been kicked 
And you're too old to learn new tricks
So you punch back, punch back
You tell me lousy is all in your soul
I know the life you're heading for
Turn back, turn back

Do I really wanna take this song?
Do I really wanna play that song?
I've seen you against him
I've seen him against her
I've seen too many birds shot down
Too many birds shot down
Too many birds shot down
Shot down in flight

Don't shoot me now
Don't shoot me down now

Do I really wanna take this song?
Do I really wanna play that song?
I've seen you against him
I've seen him against her
I've seen too many birds shot down
Too many birds shot down
Too many birds shot down

Hold on
There's a storm coming
Stay face down, face down
