[00:16.84]If the elephants have past lives
[00:21.53]Yet are destined to always remember
[00:28.04]It's no wonder how they scream
[00:33.20]Like you and I, they must have some temper
[00:38.09]
[00:39.85]And I am dreaming of them in the plains
[00:45.77]Dirtying up their beds
[00:50.99]Watching for some sign of rain
[00:56.50]To cool their hot heads
[00:59.85]
[01:01.64]And how dare that you send me that card
[01:07.02]When I'm doing all that I can do
[01:13.17]You are forcing me to remember
[01:21.81]When all I want is to just forget you
[01:27.73]
[01:37.20]If the tiger shall protect her young
[01:42.74]Then, tell me, how did you slip by?
[01:47.12]Oh my instincts have failed me for once
[01:51.69]I must have somehow slept the whole night
[01:55.88]
[01:56.63]And I am dreaming of them with their kill
[02:02.07]Tearing it all apart
[02:06.64]Blood dripping from their lips
[02:11.25]Teeth sinking into heart
[02:14.76]
[02:16.09]And how dare that you say you will call
[02:21.25]When you know I need some peace of mind
[02:26.47]If you had to take sides with the animals
[02:34.03]Won't you do it with one who is kind?
[02:38.34]
[02:56.48]If the hawks in the trees need the dead
[03:00.87]If you're living you don't stand a chance
[03:05.65]For a time, though you share the same bed
[03:10.75]There are only two ends to this dance
[03:14.42]
[03:15.82]You can flee with your wounds just in time
[03:20.23]Or lie there as he feeds
[03:25.57]Watching yourself ripped to shreds
[03:30.49]Laughing as you bleed
[03:33.74]
[03:35.47]So, for those of you falling in love
[03:41.16]Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
[03:47.66]Throw yourself in the midst of danger
[03:56.23]But keep one eye open at night
[04:03.07]
