[Intro]
Good morning elephant in the room, I am greeting you and all of your awkward air
Good morning paper and glue, I am using you to collect and collage my thoughts
Good morning first song, goodnight everything that went wrong, fall back, spring forward let's do it again
[Verse 1]
bu*ton up this is a cold one, she said, close your curtains again
And your bed is dead, there is no sunshine on that boat ride, for your garden has died
And your carpet has dried, you cannot sail on it, well you're not sea sick, no excuses for this
And are you crying or is that dust in your eye. Cause we all have lied, quote unquote “I will be, I… I...will be fine.”
[Verse 2]
Human beings are now flammable, caught in the crowd you hear the sound
Of a child scream, quick cut to a new scene, keep your thoughts composed, these roads are paved with gold
And if you stay awake you'll see the Garden State and a serpent shell, memories they burn in Hell
And if you can't get well call your good, good friend, she will talk to you when June ends
[Chorus]
Goodnight Brother, goodbye Mother and Father I am leaving here
So keep my face on that wallet sized photograph and hold it close and near
If not the case then turn my song loud enough for everyone to hear
This is for all my friends this is not the end, but an Elephant Wake Up Call
[Bridge]
The ground shakes in the morning when you're waking up
There was an awkward ma** of air by your nightstand
Did you feel the pressure from the mammoth mammal inside your room
Cause my floor shakes, in the a.m. from my grey friend, from my grey..
[Chorus]
Goodnight Brother, goodbye Mother and Father I am leaving here
So keep my face on that wallet sized photograph and hold it close and near
If not the case then turn my song loud enough for everyone to hear
This is for all my friends this is not the end, but an Elephant Wake Up Call
