Lyrics Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant

Sweetie Little Jean

Sweetie Little Jean where did you go?

Everyone's been searching high and low

And your mother's worried sick

Dearest daddy lost his grip

While the whole world's watching

Candlelight vigils being held in silence

On the channel four

And they've knocked every door

Every place you've been before

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

I, I want you back (back)

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your bones

Where all my troubles will be dead and gone

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

Has melancholy taken you for good?

You know that I would save you if I could

Watched your laughter turn to tears

Then you vanished in thin air

Well we pinned your missing persons picture up

On every mother-loving post

How's it feel to be a ghost?

You're the one I love the most

I, I want you back (back)

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your breast

Where all my troubles will be laid to rest

I pushed and I pulled 'til I pushed you aside

Now all that is left are the tears that you cried

I'm sorry love for all of the damage done

I only hope that someday to be back beside you

I, I want you back (back)

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your bones

Where all our troubles will be dead and gone

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go
