Elephants are loyal

They look out for their herd

And they foster memories

And comfort those who are sad

Elephants will voyage

in parades across great plains

and they’ll join other herds

Especially those who need protection

They’re a matriarchal society

where mother teaches calfs manners

And calfs stay by momma’s side

Til their ready to start their own parade

But as the mother grows old

Her children return

They’ll stand tall with the departed

So we must stand tall for her

Cause she taught us our manners

Cause she taught us how to protect our herd

Cause she taught us the joins of raising a calf

Cause she taught us to remember to love one another

She’s the great forest matriarch

And she’s heading to the sky

Above the world like Dumbo

We always knew she could fly

She can fly. She can fly.

She can fly. She can fly.

She can fly. She can fly.

She can fly. So high.

She can fly.

She can fly.

She flies.

who do you

think you are

you've got no one else to blame

I watched in the rain

by cold frames

it’s you who’s drenched in the shame

I am the lonely man

there’s no need to smite

I was s’possed to be her white knight

why do you

think you're here

the desires you couldn't tame

but you disclaim

you take aim

at the man you wronged - what’s my name?

I don’t want to be lonely, man

so, tonight I’ll rewrite

come here man, let me tell you something trite

There ain't no news!

About your muse!

This ain’t no ruse, I exclaim!

Please excuse!

The accused!

And the dues you’ve come to claim!

It was the booze!

It was the schmooze!

Please snooze, you’re so lame!

I don’t know who’s!

Got more to lose!

Since I refused I defamed your dame!

Please don’t will me for!

I am the lonely man

can’t sleep in hindsight

so I’ll go upstairs and extricate my plight

for I’m a weak, lonely man

without the foresight

that I’d cue a second midnight slight

the desperate, lonely man

rejects himself tonight

and he stays with her until first light

good night

What is the world coming to

Everyone leaves each other in the dirt

I’m a lucky one cause I have a place

Where dogs don’t eat dogs

I have a silk-walled room

and I don’t worry about the outside

I am safe when I’m alone

Maybe I should change what I’m doing here

There’s no excitement there’s no fear

Is solitude really luck?

If I leave now, I will have a chance

To join the great big world

Even though, people are evil

I am safe with others around

I have a silk-walled room

and I don’t worry about the outside

I am safe with others around

That’s when I met you, lisping girl

This feeling is there when your not

When the world ends I’m sure we won’t

And when I run away, you will too

We’ll run to my silk-walled room

we won’t worry about the outside

We are safe with each other around

I have a silk-walled room

and I don’t worry about the outside

we are safe with each other around
