Of Elephants and Skeletons

Sweet melatonin, please kick in soon And take me far from this room Bring dreams of goodness for goodness' sake The ones that make me fear to wake The elephants are on parade again Left trails of ruin everywhere I've been If I'd just kept my mouth shut all along They'd still be in their rooms where they belong I won't get in the way I won't get in the way of you no more Find the beasts, and grab them by the tusks Tear them out, and grind them into dust When comes the mornin' through eyelids dark And brings the gossip of the larks Leave me to dreamin' for goodness' sake 'Cos I'm left without you when I wake The skeletons are out to dance tonight Shakin' their noisy bones right by your streetlight If I would only lock that closet door I may just learn a lesson or four And not get in the way I won't get in the way of you no more Find the ghouls, and club them in the ribs Crush the skulls, and bury all the remnants Damn these bones
