White Elephant

Surrender with me, we're walking in our sleep
And won't come around for you.
Leave the story at the shore, in case you thought it done,
And yest it is, we're submarines.
Now, surrender with me, 'cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come around.
Hey, put or pistols down, and crawl along the ground,
Where we won't, won't be found
Surrender with me, and bring your violin,
And photographs, and some brass rings
For when we're breaking stones
The only things we know are tigers eyes and wasp stings.
Now, surrender with me, 'cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come around.
Hey, put our pencils down, and crawl back underground,
Where we won't, won't be found.
Now, surrender with me, 'cause we're walking in our sleep,
And won't come around.
Hey, put our pistols down, and crawl along the ground,
Where we won't, where we wont, where we wont, won't be found.
