Damien Rice - Elephant

Well this has got to die

I said this has got to stop

This has got to lie down

With someone else on top


Well you can keep me pinned

It's easier to tease

But you can't paint an elephant

Quite as good as she


And she may cry like a baby

And she may drive me Crazy

'Cause I am lately lonely


So why'd you have to lie?

I take it I'm your crutch

The pillow in your pillow case

Is easier to touch


And when you think you've sinned

Do you fall upon your knees?

Or d'you sit within your picture?

Do you still forget the breeze?


And she may rise if I sing you down

And she may wisely cling to the ground

Cause I am lately horny

So why would she take me horny?


What's the point of this song? Or even singing?

You've already gone why am I clinging?

Well I could throw it out and I could live without

And I could do it all for you

I could be strong

Tell me if you want me to lie

'Cause this has got to die


I said this has got to stop

This has got to lie down down

With someone else on top


You can both keep me pinned

'Cause it's easier to tease

But you can't make me happy

Quite as good as me


Well you know that's a lie
