Elephants

We're 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

She'll be washed away

Feeling somewhat deserving

Of what will be some day

No, I can never stay melancholy

Of the memory of your face

No, I can never stay melancholy

For long

(For I move on)

We're unwanted strangers

Exploited and dangerous

Unable to hide

Or even dream of it

Como estas, parting the seas

We're lepers who stroll

Why you afraid sweetie?

I slick back my hair

You know the devil's in there

So keep one eye open, baby

We're easy to spot

Lepers riding atop

Pachyderms full of germs

Elephants broken and screaming and

Roll over

Are we coming over?

Scattered on the shore

She'll be washed away

Scattered on the shore

She'll be washed away

Away, away

Feeling somewhat deserving

Of what will be some day

No, I can never stay melancholy

Of the memory of your face

All alone in this garden

Of long lost hopeful plans

No, I can never stay anything

For long

So come on, move

Roll over!

Are we coming over?
