Elephants
We're painted as monsters
Borracho, cansado
And do you know what the people say?
I 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
They'll make you roll over
So roll over
Get 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
Before I move on
We're unwanted strangers
Exploited and dangerous
Unable to hide or even dream of it
¿Cómo estás?
Parting the seas
We're lepers who stroll
Are you afraid, sweetie?
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 of germs
Elephants broken and screaming and oh
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Scattered on the shore
Surely washed away
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
So come on, move
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Here we go
Borracho, cansado
And do you know what the people say?
I 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
They'll make you roll over
So roll over
Get 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
Before I move on
We're unwanted strangers
Exploited and dangerous
Unable to hide or even dream of it
¿Cómo estás?
Parting the seas
We're lepers who stroll
Are you afraid, sweetie?
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 of germs
Elephants broken and screaming and oh
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Scattered on the shore
Surely washed away
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
So come on, move
Roll over
Are we coming over?
Here we go
