Lit Elephants

Lit Elephants - Madeline

The moth you found looked like

It was painted black and white

Like some shivering little pup

Inside a coffee cup

Stay here stay here for a while

You can lay me you can lay me down

I think we've figured something out

If only for a little while

The frog did slowly die

When it became cracked and dry

In the air conditioner

Behind the convenience store

You're water you're water you're air now

And I'm not sure if I'll be okay

If I cannot breathe cannot drink you

I won't last a day please

Stay here stay here for a while

You can lay me you can lay me down

I think we've figured something out

If only for a little while

The stitches that divide

The highways left and right

And we are elephants with lights

It's a wonder we don't collide
