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
