Elephants - Rachael Yamagata
If the elephants have past lives
yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I
they must have some temper
And I am dreaming
of them on the plains
dirtying up their beds
Watching for some kind 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
when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young
then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts
have failed me for once
I must have somehow
slept the whole night
And I am dreaming
of them with their kill
tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
and teeth sinking in too hearts
And how dare
that you say you will call
when you know
I need some peace of mind
If you had to take sides
with the animals
won't you do it
with one who is kind

If the hawks
in the trees need the dead
if you're living
you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share
the same bed
but there are only two
ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds
just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself
ripped to shreds
and 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
