Seventh Avenue - Pink Elephant lyrics

My dearest child, not yet born, not even conceived But I speak to you as if you are 'Cause I fear the day you ask me about the sun, trees birds and bees Trees, birds and bees You'll want to know, what I did to stop it all And I won't be able to hide my shame I'll only tell you the tale of pink elephants You can fly through the heavens on their backs Believe me, pink elephants can fly Over the hills, the mountains and through the sky They could, if they would, fly higher than high But only the pink elephants can really fly Forget the toys you used to play wars in your fantasy And the videos where machines and monsters raged to rule The desire for power and pleasure formed your world And it will determine your child's future too Close your eyes and realize where you are They've survived despite all we've destroyed They are all my parents left me from better days They're your friends and you can give them to your child
