"Elephants" lyrics - THEM CROOKED VULTURES
Painted as monsters
Borracho, cansado
Do you know what the people say?
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
I'll make you roll over
So roll over
Scattered on the shore
Surely washed away
Feeling somewhat deserving
Of what will be someday
No, I can never stay melancholy
I've the memory of your face
No, 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
Like lepers who stroll
Why you afraid sweety?
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
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Scattered on the shore
Surely washed away
Scattered on the shore
Surely be washed away
Away
Away
Feeling somewhat deserving
Of what will be someday
No, I can never stay melancholy
I've the memory of your face
All alone in the garden
Of long lost hopeful plans
No, I can never stay anything
For long
So come on
Move
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Here we go
