《Elephants》歌词

[00:00:00] rachael yamagata - elephants

[00:00:16] if the elephants have past lives

[00:00:21] yet are destined to always remember

[00:00:28] it's no wonder how they scream

[00:00:33] like you and i, they must have some temper

[00:00:39] and i am dreaming of them in the plains

[00:00:45] dirtying up their beds

[00:00:50] watching for some sign of rain

[00:00:56] to cool their hot heads

[00:01:01] and how dare that you send me that card

[00:01:07] when i'm doing all that i can do

[00:01:13] you are forcing me to remember

[00:01:21] when all i want is to just forget you

[00:01:37] if the tiger shall protect her young

[00:01:42] then, tell me, how did you slip by?

[00:01:47] oh my instincts have failed me for once

[00:01:51] i must have somehow slept the whole night

[00:01:56] and i am dreaming of them with their kill

[00:02:02] tearing it all apart

[00:02:06] blood dripping from their lips

[00:02:11] teeth sinking into heart

[00:02:16] and how dare that you say you will call

[00:02:21] when you know i need some peace of mind

[00:02:26] if you had to take sides with the animals

[00:02:34] won't you do it with one who is kind?

[00:02:56] if the hawks in the trees need the dead

[00:03:00] if you're living you don't stand a chance

[00:03:05] for a time, though you share the same bed

[00:03:10] there are only two ends to this dance

[00:03:15] you can flee with your wounds just in time

[00:03:20] or lie there as he feeds

[00:03:25] watching yourself ripped to shreds

[00:03:30] laughing as you bleed

[00:03:35] so, for those of you falling in love

[00:03:41] keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right

[00:03:47] throw yourself in the midst of danger

[00:03:56] but keep one eye open at night
