Elephants

Elephants - Them Crooked Vultures

Painted as monsters

Borracho cansado

Do you know what the people say

Plucked from the garden

Of wicked 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

So roll over

Scattered on the shore

Surely washed away

Feeling somewhat deserving

Of what will be someday

No I can never stay melancholy

I've the memory of your face

No I can never stay melancholy for long

Until I move on

We're unwanted strangers

Exploited and dangerous

Unable to hide or even dream of it

Como estas

Parting the seas

Like lepers who stroll

Why you afraid sweety

I slick back my hair

You know the devil's in there

So keep one eye open baby

We're so easy to spot

Lepers riding atop

Pachyderms full of germs

Elephants broken and screaming and

Scattered on the shore

Surely washed away

Feeling somewhat deserving

Of what will be someday

No I can never stay melancholy

I've the memory of your face

All alone in the garden

Of long lost hopeful plans

No I can never stay anything

For long
