Lyrics
Elephant Bones
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.
Lord, send down some angels, and they better have guns,
Cause everybody's crazy down here on everybody's drugs.
Casinos, pornos, stock shows, where white trash goes to die.
Bums push carts, crackhead squirrels,
And birds too drunk to fly.
Guah!
Keep dancing, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Oh, baby, to the end of the world!"
Come on, baby, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Smile to the end of the world!"
Keep dancing, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Oh, baby, to the end of the world!"
Come on, baby, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Smile to the end of the world!"
And they send down some astronauts to study our bones,
Through the miles of garbage,
Beneath all the junk that we owned.
Carbon dating beer cans, condoms and twinkie wrappers.
We were something beautiful, baby. What the hell happened?
Guah!
Keep dancing, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Oh, baby, to the end of the world!"
Come on, baby, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Smile to the end of the world!"
Keep dancing, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Oh, baby, to the end of the world!"
Come on, baby, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Smile to the end of the world!"
If you you were worth it,
They'd skin you, too, for new tennis shoes,
Or a couch that fits the motif of the living room
And doesn't clash with your business suits!
I wanna be in a museum, stuffed and in a realistic position,
Like I'm hunting, calling someone, or buying something.
Way too busy to look up and see what was coming.
Guah!
Keep dancing, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Oh, baby, to the end of the world!"
Come on, baby, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Smile to the end of the world!"
Keep dancing, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Oh, baby, to the end of the world!"
Come on, baby, it's the end of the world!
She said, "Smile, it's the end of the world!"
I want my bones kept next to
Someone of cultural significance,
Like Fonzie, or William Shatner.
Ha-ha, yeah,
Someone famous like Gilbert Gottfried
Or the dog from Frasier.
That caveman they found,
He was a punk. I knew him in high school.
Heh, heh, heh.
