On the other hand.. this song sounds very much like a song from the soundtrack of the movie 'Real Genius' (A great Val Kilmer film, I might add).. made in the mid 80's. Almost identical, really.
I tell ya, this song/video is the big reason mice and other small vermin around the world are so enamored of John Mayor. Vultures and other birds of prey are a perennial threat. Perennial, nothing. Every hour of every day we have to keep a sharp eye out, otherwise it's those hideous claw talons digging into your back, death. Yeesh, I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. Ye come, ye doom, bring ye down death from above. JM knows just how mice and other vermin think, a true genius.
@oscardenrubi I've never heard this version till now, I only have the los angelas album, I always thought he said "Power is made by pure manipulation." I like mine better lol
i love it, his voice, his guitar, i cant tell which i like more, i think that his voice makes the guitar sound better and his guitar make his voice sound more amazing
my friend played me this song when we were editing a film and actually going a bit mental. i haven't stopped listening to it. it has such a classic sound... you've converted me...
but why isn't there a NORMAL video? i don't care if it's official or live in a concert, i need the camera to NOT shake and show weired pictures of john
john mayer has a talent that alot of cats don't have in there bag of tricks! john don't need smoke and mirrors, he's the real thing!keep jamming with the mayer man!
Chorus Wheels up I got to leave this evening Can't seem to shake these vultures Off of my trail Power is made, by power being taken So I keep on running To protect my situation Chorus Oooooooooooo(4x) Whatcha gonna do about it(3X) Don't give up give up(4X)
he is soooooooooo bad awesome

Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Chorus~Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before
