《Elephant Song》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
