Elephant Lyrics by Damien Rice
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Well, this has got to die
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
With someone else on top

Well, you can keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as she
And she may cry like a baby
And she may drive me crazy
'Cause I am lately, lonely..

So why'd you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch
When you think you're safe
You fall upon your knees
But you're still within your picture
you still forget the breeze,
and she may rise if I sing you down
And she may wisely lay claim to the ground

'Cause I am lately, horny..
So why would she take me?
Horny

Well, this has got to die   This has got to stop   This has got to lie down   With someone else on top      Well, you can keep me pinned   'Cause it's easier to tease   But you can't paint an elephant   Quite as good as she   And she may cry like a baby   And she may drive me crazy   'Cause I am lately, lonely..      So why'd you have to lie?   I take it I'm your crutch   The pillow in your pillow case   It's easier to touch   When you think you're safe   You fall upon your knees   But you're still within your picture   you still forget the breeze,   and she may rise if I sing you down   And she may wisely lay claim to the ground      'Cause I am lately, horny..   So why would she take me?   Horny   (...)
