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
