If the elephants have passed lives
Yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you & I they must have some tempers
I am dreaming of them on the plains
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
When I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
All I want is to just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
Then tell me how did you slip by
Oh my instincts have failed me for once
You must have somehow slept the whole night
I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
Teeth sinking into heart
And how dare that you say you will call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind
If the hawks in the trees need the death (?)
If you're living you don't stand a chance
All the time that you share the same bed
There are only 2 ends to this dance
You can flee with your wings just in time
Or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
Laughing as you bleed
So for those of you falling in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger
But keep one eye open at night
