Elephant

The elephants are in their heaven
Leaving us to our own hell
Pointing fingers after rifles
Point is lost in rifle shells
The point is lost on them

Alcohol will see you through this
Waits for you to wash your hands
Shaking for the things gone skyward
Up above the troubled lands
But you've got it on your hands

We want to fly like angels
We float like rocks in water
I know these birds are angels
We meet like oil and water

Say good night
The night is over
Say goodbye
Goodbye forever

Tiny things are quick to leave us
Who could know we needed them?
The wife and kids, the aspirations
Gone away to Auntie Em's
You forgot to water them

Rainy days are now upon us
We are wet with nothing saved
Rainy days are here forever
Here forever and a day
What a day it's been

We want to fly like angels
We float like rocks in water
I know these birds are angels
We meet like oil and water

Say good night
The night is over
Say goodbye
Goodbye

Say good night
The night is over
Say goodbye
Goodbye forever
