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]
