Lyrics

Prey for Drinking

I'm a traveler who's unwanted, I'm a dolphin in the sea
I'm a woman on a tube-train late at night, I'm the scenic scenery
I broaden my horizons, when I went down with the sun
I asked myself some questions, the outcome were not fun

I'm all the unwanted children, I'm the sparkle in mummies eyes
I'm old and forgot a lot bout love, I'm the tears that you cry
I'm the old and I'm the frail, I'm the young and ever free
I'm a leading politician who sucks with a brand new policy

I'm religious, prey for drinking
I'm a pope of all I've seen
Trying to survive to keep it alive
Welcome to the family!
I'm religious, prey for drinking
It's the pope we've always seen
I'm trying to survive working 9 to 5
Welcome to the family!
Yeahhe

I'm a traveler who's unwanted, I'm a dolphin in the sea
I'm a woman on a tube-train late at night, I'm the scenic scenery
I broaden my horizons, when I went down with the sun
I asked myself some questions, the outcome were not fun

I'm all the unwanted children, I'm the sparkle in mummies eyes
I'm old and forgot a lot bout love, I'm the tears that you cry
I'm the old and I'm the frail, I'm the young and ever free
I'm a leading politician who sucks with a cheeky policy

I broaden my horizons, when I went down with the sun
I asked myself some questions, the outcome were not fun

So it's good to be back, it's been so long
I've been away, I've been a fool
It took me some times to realise
That this place won't change

I'm religious, prey for drinking
I'm a pope of all I've seen
Trying to survive to keep it alive
Welcome to the family!
I'm religious, prey for drinking
It's the pope we've always seen
I'm trying to survive working 9 to 5
Welcome to the family!
Oh yeah, oh yeah
