[00:14.26]

[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

[04:03.07]
