Trying not to blame my age For when I confess All the crowns are gettin' engaged Leaving me hopeless We were so, so over used It's a miracle, a miracle, we made it through Tend me, tend me Will you defend me? I was just escaping Scavengers When I gave all that I could give They're coming back again I'm always trailing Scavenger When I'm finally off the ground They circle back around Oh Trying not to blame the world But baby, it's so true While your sleeping They can steal the bed beneath you Take the color from your eyes Take the curve out of your spine Take the daydream in your mind From right inside you Tend me, tend me Will you defend me? I was just escaping Scavengers When I gave all that I could give They're coming back again I'm always trailing Scavenger When I'm finally off the ground They circle back around Oh oh (I was just escaping) (Scavengers, scavengers) I was just escaping Scavengers When I gave all that I could give They're coming back again I'm always trailing Scavengers When I'm finally off the ground They circle back around I'm always trailing down Scavengers Still waiting for the day They'll find another place And finally fly away
