Lyrics
Elephant Gun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die
We drink tonight
Far from home, elephant guns
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down
It's not been found, it's not around
Let the seasons begin
It rolls right on
Let the seasons begin
Take the big game down
Let the seasons begin
It rolls right on
Let the seasons begin
Take the big game down
Oh, oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, ah, ah, ah
And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night, all night, all night
And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence
All that is left is all that I hide
