Elephants

we're painted as monsters,

borracho, cansado

and do you know what the people say?

i'm plucked from the garden

of wretched beliefs

I offer a rose

& smile with harmless teeth

then slick back my hair,

you know the devil's in there

alone in the garden

like lumbering giants

in a shameful parade

we came to ruin all

& make a rotten trade

(and make you roll over...so roll over)

scared to remove the shy

sharing much too late

feeling so undeserving

of what will be something

no i can never stay out of the ring

of the memory of your face

no i can never stay out of the ring of the..no

before i move on

we're unwanted strangers,

exploited & dangerous

unable to hide

or even dream of it

como estas, parting the seas,

like lepers who stroll,

why you afraid sweety?

I slick back my hair,

You know the devil's in there

So keep one eye open baby....

We're so easy to spot,

Lepers riding atop

Pachyderms of germs,

Elephants broken & screaming and oh

(roll over)...are we coming over?

scared to remove the shy

sharing much too late

scared to remove the shy

sharing much too late

(too late...too late...)

feeling so undeserving

of what will be someday

no i can never stay

never come in of the memory of your face

I'm alone in the garden

of long lost hopeful plans

no i can never stay anything here for long

(so come on..move)

(rollover)

(are we coming over?)
