rachael yamagata - elephants[00:00:00]
if the elephants have past lives[00:00:16]
yet are destined to always remember[00:00:21]
it's no wonder how they scream[00:00:28]
like you and i, they must have some temper[00:00:33]
and i am dreaming of them in the plains[00:00:39]
dirtying up their beds[00:00:45]
watching for some sign of rain[00:00:50]
to cool their hot heads[00:00:56]
and how dare that you send me that card[00:01:01]
when i'm doing all that i can do[00:01:07]
you are forcing me to remember[00:01:13]
when all i want is to just forget you[00:01:21]
if the tiger shall protect her young[00:01:37]
then, tell me, how did you slip by?[00:01:42]
oh my instincts have failed me for once[00:01:47]
i must have somehow slept the whole night[00:01:51]
and i am dreaming of them with their kill[00:01:56]
tearing it all apart[00:02:02]
blood dripping from their lips[00:02:06]
teeth sinking into heart[00:02:11]
and how dare that you say you will call[00:02:16]
when you know i need some peace of mind[00:02:21]
if you had to take sides with the animals[00:02:26]
won't you do it with one who is kind?[00:02:34]
if the hawks in the trees need the dead[00:02:56]
if you're living you don't stand a chance[00:03:00]
for a time, though you share the same bed[00:03:05]
there are only two ends to this dance[00:03:10]
you can flee with your wounds just in time[00:03:15]
or lie there as he feeds[00:03:20]
watching yourself ripped to shreds[00:03:25]
laughing as you bleed[00:03:30]
so, for those of you falling in love[00:03:35]
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right[00:03:41]
throw yourself in the midst of danger[00:03:47]
but keep one eye open at night[00:03:56]
