Mr. Jones was just hanging around   Counting those crows   Red, white, blue   Real real fast   We're talking semisonic   'Cause distance over speed equals closing time   So maybe it isn't so bad      And Buddy Holly aint no weezer   More like a gieser and that goes to show   And the time of his life is coming around   Cause he's a nice guy and   Tries real hard   He won't be finishing soon   Even thought the light is green      And I guess it's hard   When your sleeping with an elephant   No room to live   But hey it keeps you warm      And why can't I be the dominant one   I've tried so hard   But it's still crushing me   I don't want to become   Part of that         And nothing ever lasts for ever   Not Jesus   Not Babylon   Not even your black feelings   He just took one last breath   Of clean, clean air to get higher   And eventually created his own prison      And my soul is getting heavy   So just spit it out   Into the world i know   And Jimmy's American world is bleeding   Right into the middle   And I become a little more   American everyday      And I guess it's hard   When your sleeping with an elephant   No room to live   But hey it keeps you warm      And why can't I be the dominant one   I've tried so hard   But it's still crushing me   I don't want to become   Part of that
