Elephants
Lyrics
We're painted as monsters
Borracho, cansado
Do you know what the people say?
I 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
Doo, doo, ooh, doo, doo, ooh
Make you roll over (doo, doo, ooh)
So roll over (doo, doo, ooh, doo, doo, ooh)
Get over (doo, doo, ooh)
Scattered on the shore
Slowly washed away
Feeling somewhat deserving
Of what will be someday
Now I can never stay melancholy
For the memory of your face
Now I can never stay melancholy
For long
Before 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 so easy to spot
Lepers riding atop
Pachyderms full of germs
Elephants broken and screaming and oh
(Doo, doo, ooh) roll over (doo, doo, ooh)
(Doo, doo, ooh)
Are we coming over?
(Doo, doo, ooh, doo, doo, ooh, doo, doo, ooh)
Scattered on the shore
Slowly washed away
Scattered on the shore
Slowly washed away
Away, away
Feeling somewhat deserving
Of what will be someday
Now I can never stay melancholy
For the memory of your face
All alone in the garden
Of long lost hopeful plans
Now I can never stay anything
For long
(Doo, doo, ooh, doo, doo, ooh)
So come on (doo, doo, ooh), move
(Doo, doo, ooh, doo, doo, ooh)
Roll over (doo, doo, ooh)
Are we coming over?
Get it on
