Cue The Elephants
The morning belonged to the grapefruitRipe in the gold Rome sunI throw out the rindIt's just bitter to meDone, done, done.The skyline is made of the umbrella pineAnd I wish we could climb everyoneBut all I could see in the shape of the streetsDone, done, done.Cue the elephants!The torches they light in the woodsCan you and me save the city?I thought that we promised we would.But you've got your hands in your pocketsAnd you can't look me in the eyeAnd now for that eternal question:Why? Why? Why?And then he would look at those starlingsTogether they swoop down as oneHe'd read in that dizzy ellipsisDone, done, done.We dangle our legs in the fountainsSongtexteThe pail is red and onThe aqueduct water is ancientDone, done, done.Cue the elephants!The torches they light in the woodsCan you and me save the city?I thought that we promised we would.But you've got your hands in your pocketsAnd you can't look me in the eyeAnd now for that eternal question:Why? Why? Why?La la-laaLa luh-laaLa la-la la laLa luh-laaLa luh-laaLa la-la la la laa-uhh.
