Elephant

Well. this has got to dieI said, this has got to stopThis has got to lie downWith someone else on top
You can keep me pinned'Cause it's easier to teaseBut you can't paint an elephantQuite as good as she
And she may cry like a babyAnd she may drive me crazy'Cause I am latelyLonely
So why'd you have to lie?I take it I'm your crutchThe pillow in your pillow caseIs easier to touch
When you think you've sinnedDo you fall upon your knees?Or just sit within your pictureYou still forget the breeze
And she may riseIf I sing you downAnd she may wiselyCling to the ground
'Cause I am latelyHornySo why would she take me horny?
What's the point of this song?Or even singing?You've already goneWhy am I clinging?
Well I could throw it outAnd I could live withoutAnd I could do it all for youI could be strong
Tell me, do you want me to lie?Because this has got to die'Cause this has got to stopThis has got to lie down, downWith someone else on top
You can both keep me pinned'Cause it's easier to teaseBut you can't make me happyQuite as good as me...(you know that's a lie)
