Kitchens Of Distinction - Elephantine lyrics

Sharpen your stunted tusks in this city night. Yesterday a wide-eyed stabbing, Tonight a crowbar fight, desperate fight, A desperate fight. Sleeping alone and drugged, frightened, fat and wet. I swear I'm chasing sanity, Lost easy laughter and forgetting. (Chorus) I'm going south To feed the animals. I'm going south Elephantine. Elephant in drought-struck shock is trumpeting her grief, Stays with her dying baby, trunk-stroking, dry and pursued, She dies too. How can I justify wailing at these walls? Every great nation ends up deserving war.
