Elephant

[Verse 1] The elephants are in their heaven Leaving us to our own hell Pointing fingers after rifles Point is lost in rifle shells The point is lost on them [Verse 2] Alcohol will see you through this Waits for you to wash your hands Shaking for the things gone skyward Up above the troubled lands But you've got it on your hands [Chorus] We want to fly like angels We float like rocks in water I know these birds are angels We meet like oil and water Say good night The night is over Say goodbye Goodbye forever [Verse 3] Tiny things are quick to leave us Who could know we needed them? The wife and kids, the aspirations Gone away to Auntie M’s You forgot to water them [Verse 4] Rainy days are now upon us We are wet with nothing saved Rainy days are here forever Here forever and a day What a day it's been [Chorus] We want to fly like angels We float like rocks in water I know these birds are angels We meet like oil and water Say good night The night is over Say goodbye Goodbye Say good night The night is over Say goodbye Goodbye forever
