The Modern Muse Lyrics by Dead To Me

African Elephants

2009

Through the implements of art and war
I don't hate the heads of state no more - sike!
But if I do then they win and you know this
So c'mon and let's dissect this
Your best friend taught you how to sing
When she sang every song in the right wrong key
Like out of step man
Look into it
You breathe old songs and fear the daily news
Everything you could but walked in others' shoes
And it weighs on, it weighs on me
You breathe old songs and fear the daily news
Everything you could but walked in others' shoes
And it weighs on, it weighs on me
Eyes on the water off the Berkeley shore
I know it itches but I'm missing you more
Some get their memberships and some sneak in
Here's hoping that little brother helped you sing
But you'll never find your voice if you just sing with me
It's in your own heart and in your hands
You breathe old songs and fear the daily news
Everything you could but walked in others' shoes
And it weighs on, it weighs on me
You breathe old songs and fear the daily news
Everything you could but walked in others' shoes
And it weighs on, it weighs on me
But I know it's okay
'Cause the light's still on
And I'm okay, right?!
