Elephant - Damien Rice

Elephant - Damien Rice

This has got to die

This has got to stop

This has got to lie down

Someone else on top

You can keep me pinned

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

And when you think you've sinned

Do you fall upon your knees?

And 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 horny?

What's the point of this song? Or even singing?

You've already gone, why am I clinging?

Well I could throw it out, and I could live without

And I could do it all for you

I could be strong

Tell me if you want me to lie

'Cause this has got to die

This has got 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 you can't make me happy

Quite as good as me

Well you know that's a lie
