Elephants
We're painted as monsters
Borracho, cansado
Do you know what the people say?
Plucked from the garden
Of wretched beliefs
I offer a rose and 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 and make a rotten trade
I'll make you roll over
So, roll over
Scattered on the shore
She'll be washed away
Feeling somewhat deserving
Of what will be some day
No, I can never stay melancholy
Of the memory of your face
No, I can never stay melancholy
For long
(For I move on)
We're unwanted strangers
Exploited and dangerous
Unable to hide
Or even dream of it
Como estas, parting the seas
We're lepers who stroll
Why you afraid sweetie?
I slick back my hair
You know the devil's in there
So keep one eye open, baby
We're easy to spot
Lepers riding atop
Pachyderms full of germs
Elephants broken and screaming and
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Scattered on the shore
She'll be washed away
Scattered on the shore
She'll be washed away
Away, away
Feeling somewhat deserving
Of what will be some day
No, I can never stay melancholy
Of the memory of your face
All alone in this garden
Of long lost hopeful plans
No, I can never stay anything
For long
So come on, move
Roll over!
Are we coming over?
