Elephant

this has got to die
i said this has got to stop
this has got to lie down
with someone else on top
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 did ya have to lie
i take it i´m your crutch
the pillow in your pillowcase
is easier to touch
and when you think you´ve sinned
do you fall upon your knees?
or do you sit within your picture?
do you still forget the breeze?
and she may rise if i sing you down
and she may wisely cling to the ground
´cause i´m lately horny
so why would she take me thorny?
what´s the point of this song or even singing?
if you´ve already gone, why am i clinging?
well i could throw her out
and i could live without
and i could do it all for you
i could be true
tell me if you want me to lie
´cause this has got to die
i said this has to stop
this has got to lie down, down
with someone else on top
you can both keep me pinned
´cause it´s easier to tease
but ye can´t make me happy
quite as good as me..
well,
you know that´s a lie
i said this has got to stop
this has got to lie down
with someone else on top
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 did ya have to lie
i take it i´m your crutch
the pillow in your pillowcase
is easier to touch
and when you think you´ve sinned
do you fall upon your knees?
or do you sit within your picture?
do you still forget the breeze?
and she may rise if i sing you down
and she may wisely cling to the ground
´cause i´m lately horny
so why would she take me thorny?
what´s the point of this song or even singing?
if you´ve already gone, why am i clinging?
well i could throw her out
and i could live without
and i could do it all for you

well,
you know that´s a lie
