Elephants

Elephants - Ruben Hein

Composed by：Ruben Hein/Stefan Kruger/Paul Willemsen/Stan Vreeken

The elephants left through a hole in the wall

And it can't be right to pretend that it all didn't happen

Because it did

She turned away and nobody spoke

Of the China windows the elephants broke

Just silent

And that's it

And it seems that we both forgot

We tried to be somethin' we are not no

But tonight we have shown the truth

Because that's what elephants do

Oh we're so mistaken

Oh we're so mistaken

We cover the mess with small talk

And we can't even see it's our own heart that is breakin'

Breakin' the rules

The elephants will come back

And they sure don't like to be ignored

Like they have been before

Like a bunch of fools

And it seems that we both forgot

We tried to be somethin' we are not no

But if we can't live with the truth

The elephants cannot live too

And elephants die alone

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Elephants die alone

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Elephants die alone

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Elephants die alone

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah

So let us stop to remember

All the things that we wanna do

We should skip the food over candlelight

I know I wanna crush all the tables with you

I wanna dance just like elephants do

I wanna wreck everythin' that I once held for a place that is home

Now I know that it's true

That is home

Oh now I know that it's you

Hey yeah
