Elephant

Lyrics

This has got to die
 ♪
 I said this has got to stop
 ♪
 This has got to lie down
 ♪
 With someone else on top
 ♪
 You can keep me pinned
 ♪
 'Cause 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, 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 do 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 her out, and I could live without
 And I could do it all for you
 I could be true
 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
