Eat the Elephant Lyrics

Looming, omnipresent
This task ahead, this task at hand
Ominous and daunting
Crippling undertaking, I'm frozen

Where to begin eludes me
Without you to remind me

Just take the step
Just take the swing
Just take the buy
Just go all in

Where to begin eludes me
Ruling ever deeper
This mass of endeavour
Ominous and daunting
Crippling undertaking

Just take the step
Just take the swing
Just take the buy
Just go all in

Take the step
Take the swing
Take the buy
Just take the buy

Take the step
Take the swing
Take the buy
Just go all in

Where to begin eludes me
Without you to remind me
Just begin
