Elephants Lyrics

Elephants lyrics

If the elephants have past lives, 

Yet are destined to always
remember,

It's no wonder how they scream,

Like you and I, they must
have some temper.



And I am dreaming of them on the plains, 

Dirtying up their beds,

Watching for some kind of rain 

To cool
their hot heads.



And how dare that you send me that card 

When I'm doing all that I can do.

You are forcing me to remember 

When all I want is to just forget you.



If the tiger shall
protect her young, 

Then tell me how did you slip by.

All my
instincts have failed me for once 

I must have somehow slept the whole
night.



And I am dreaming of them with their kill, 

Tearing
it all apart,

Blood dripping from their lips, 

And teeth sinking in
to heart.



And how dare that you say you will call, 

When you
know I need some peace of mind..

If you had to take sides with the
animals, 

Won't you do it with one who is kind?



If the hawks
in the trees need the dead, 

If you're living you don't stand a
chance.

For a time, though you share the same bed,

There are only
two ends to this dance.



You can flee with your wounds just in
time, 

Or lie there as he feeds,

Watching yourself ripped to shreds


And laughing as you bleed.



So for those of you falling in
love, 

Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right.

Throw yourself in
the midst of danger, 

But keep one eye open at night.
