Bishop Allen - Cue the Elephants lyrics

The morning belonged to the grapefruit Ripe in the gold Rome sun I throw out the rind It's just bitter to me Done, done, done. The skyline is made of the umbrella pine And I wish we could climb everyone But all I could see in the shape of the streets Done, done, done. Cue the elephants! The torches they light in the woods Can you and me save the city? I thought that we promised we would. But you've got your hands in your pockets And you can't look me in the eye And now for that eternal question: Why? Why? Why? And then he would look at those starlings Together they swoop down as one He'd read in that dizzy ellipsis Done, done, done. We dangle our legs in the fountains The pail is red and on The aqueduct water is ancient Done, done, done. Cue the elephants! The torches they light in the woods Can you and me save the city? I thought that we promised we would. But you've got your hands in your pockets And you can't look me in the eye And now for that eternal question: Why? Why? Why? La la-laa La luh-laa La la-la la la La luh-laa La luh-laa La la-la la la laa-uhh.
