Foals - Albatross

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck,
You got one hundred broken lightbulbs above your head.
They said that you had it coming, but I wouldn't bet,
Cause you got a slowly thicking time bomb and then you see red.

Sunblind...
Sunblind...

You got an albatross around your neck, around your neck,
You got a pile of broken wishbones under your bed,
And you got an hungry green eyed monster, that you keep fed,
And it keeps on coming over, it wants you dead.

Sunblind...
Sunblind...

Oh, you burnt the lungs,
That your ancestors created,
You sat by the banks
Of the river and you waited
Till time rolled back
And the water had abated,
You drank your shame,
But you still could not be sated,
Quicksands of the mind
And the sinkholes you may find,
When you look through
The twisting of the vines.

Time comes round,
The game is itching at your bone,
Chill wind comes round,
It's blowing through your home,
Quicksands of the mind
And the sinkholes you may find,
When you look through
The twisting of the vines.

You burnt the lungs,
That your ancestors created,
You sat by the banks
Of the river and you waited,
Till time rolled back
And the water had abated,
You drank your share,
But you still could not be sated,
You said you're scared
Of the clocks that keep ticking over,
We'll find a way
For a life that's worth living over
Again and again,
For a life that's worth living over
Again and again.

For a life that's worth living over
Again and again
And again and again and again,
Again and again
And again and again and again...
