lyrics

'Elephant Heart'

Oooo....Oooo....Oooo....Oooo

Fated to never forget
And forced to always remember
Yearning for some peace of mind
While patiently cooling the ember

Oooo....Oooo...Oooo...Ooooo.

When instinct and reason collide
To protect in the presence of danger
Keeping an eye open wide
Starts feeling like it’s second nature

I’ve never been one to wonder why
Elephants scream and bellow or cry
They know what they’ve seen
They know what they’ve felt
Yelling out loud that they’re captive to hell

Ay oh ba-oom-ba-day-oh
Ay oh ba-oom-ba-day-oh
Ay oh ba-oom-ba-day-oh
Ay oh ba-oom-ba-day-oh

ba-oom-ba-day-oh
ba-oom-ba-day-oh
ba-oom-ba-day-oh

I’ve never been one to wonder why
Elephants scream and bellow or cry
They know what they’ve seen
They know what they’ve felt
Yelling out loud that they’re captive to hell

Oooo...Oooo....Oooo...Oooo...

So tame your savage temper
Careful don’t take it too far
Imagine having to carry
The weight of an elephant heart
