Cue the Elephants Lyrics by Bishop Allen

Grrr…

0

The morning belonged to the grapefruit
Ripe in the gold Rome sun
I throw out the rind
It's just bitter to me
Done, done, done
The skyline is made of the umbrella pine
And I wish we could climb everyone
But all I could see in the shape of the streets
Done, done, done
Cue the elephants!
The torches they light in the woods
Can you and me save the city?
I thought that we promised we would
But you've got your hands in your pockets
And you can't look me in the eye
And now for that eternal question:
Why? Why? Why?
And then he would look at those starlings
Together they swoop down as one
He'd read in that dizzy ellipsis
Done, done, done
We dangle our legs in the fountains
The pail is red and on
The aqueduct water is ancient
Done, done, done
Cue the elephants!
The torches they light in the woods
Can you and me save the city?
I thought that we promised we would
But you've got your hands in your pockets
And you can't look me in the eye
And now for that eternal question:
Why? Why? Why?
La la-laa
La luh-laa
La la-la la la
La luh-laa
La luh-laa
La la-la la la laa-uhh
