[00:00.54]rachael yamagata - elephants
[00:16.84]if the elephants have past lives
[00:21.53]yet are destined to always remember
[00:28.04]it's no wonder how they scream
[00:33.20]like you and i, they must have some temper
[00:38.09]
[00:39.85]and i am dreaming of them in the plains
[00:45.77]dirtying up their beds
[00:50.99]watching for some sign of rain
[00:56.50]to cool their hot heads
[00:59.85]
[01:01.64]and how dare that you send me that card
[01:07.02]when i'm doing all that i can do
[01:13.17]you are forcing me to remember
[01:21.81]when all i want is to just forget you
[01:27.73]
[01:37.20]if the tiger shall protect her young
[01:42.74]then, tell me, how did you slip by?
[01:47.12]oh my instincts have failed me for once
[01:51.69]i must have somehow slept the whole night
[01:55.88]
[01:56.63]and i am dreaming of them with their kill
[02:02.07]tearing it all apart
[02:06.64]blood dripping from their lips
[02:11.25]teeth sinking into heart
[02:14.76]
[02:16.09]and how dare that you say you will call
[02:21.25]when you know i need some peace of mind
[02:26.47]if you had to take sides with the animals
[02:34.03]won't you do it with one who is kind?
[02:38.34]
[02:56.48]if the hawks in the trees need the dead
[03:00.87]if you're living you don't stand a chance
[03:05.65]for a time, though you share the same bed
[03:10.75]there are only two ends to this dance
[03:14.42]
[03:15.82]you can flee with your wounds just in time
[03:20.23]or lie there as he feeds
[03:25.57]watching yourself ripped to shreds
[03:30.49]laughing as you bleed
[03:33.74]
[03:35.47]so, for those of you falling in love
[03:41.16]keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
[03:47.66]throw yourself in the midst of danger
[03:56.23]but keep one eye open at night
