Elephant Bones Lyrics by That Handsome Devil

That Handsome Devil EP

2005

Lord, send down some angels
And they'd better have guns
Cause everybody's crazy down here
On everybody's drugs

Casinos, pornos, talk shows
Where white trash goes to die
Bums push carts, crackhead squirrels
And birds too drunk to fly

Keep dancin' it's the end of the world
She said "Oh baby, it's the end of the world"
Come on baby, it's the end of the world
She said "Smile, it's the end of the world"

Keep dancin' to the end of the world
She said "Oh baby, it's the end of the world"
Come on baby, it's the end of the world
She said "Smile, it's the end of the world"

And they sent down some astronauts
To study our bones
Through the miles of garbage
Beneath all the junk that we owned

Carbon dating beer cans
Condoms and Twinkie wrappers
We were something beautiful, baby
What the hell happened?

Keep dancin' it's the end of the world
She said "Oh baby, do the end of the world"
Come on baby, it's the end of the world
She said "Smile to the end of the world"

Keep dancin' to the end of the world
She said "Oh baby, it's the end of the world"
Come on baby, it's the end of the world
She said "Smile, it's the end of the world"

[Break]

Don't need no headstone to be dead in a hole
I said they're gonna dig you up like some elephant bones
Don't need no headstone to be dead in a hole
I said they're gonna dig you up like some elephant bones
Don't need no headstone to be dead in a hole
I said they're gonna dig you up like some elephant bones, bones, bones
Don't need no headstone to be dead in a hole
I said they're gonna dig you up like some elephant bones, bones, bones

If you were worth it, they'd skin you too
For some new tennis shoes
Or a couch that fits the motif of the living room
And doesn't clash with your business suits

I want to be in a museum
Stuffed and in a realistic position like I'm huntin'
Callin' someone or buyin' something
Way too busy to look up and see what was comin'

Keep dancin' it's the end of the world
She said "Oh baby, do the end of the world"
Come on baby, it's the end of the world
She said "Smile to the end of the world"

Keep dancin' to the end of the world
She said "Oh baby, it's the end of the world"
Come on baby, it's the end of the world
She said "Smile, it's the end of the world"

I want my bones kept next to somebody of cultural significance
Like Fonzy or William Shatner, ha ha ha
Yeah, somebody famous like Gilbert Gottfried or the dog from Frasier
That caveman they found? He was a punk - I knew him in high school

(You know, it's an exciting thing to watch the way a new song becomes a hit song - the way it catches on and grows in ever-increasing popularity. And I'll tell you something, that's just the way I feel about another big popular hit I've got right here.)
