Paroles No Elephant de Eskimo And Sons

Textes et Paroles de No Elephant

I dreamt I built ten filled wooden bleachersAnd from the pasture I captured the greatest creatureAnd how he struggled and foughtHow he reared up and stomped was tremendousBut I felt endlessAs I attacked him I trapped him in my hunter's netLike he was just an animalAnd he fell down I stood proud on his heaving chestLike a famous generalAnd then I loaded my boatAnd I set sail back homeWhere I was to be honoredWhen they'd seen what I had conquered.And when my ship pierced through the horizonThe great parade that my country made went wildAnd when we unloaded my vesselAnd walked the beast ashoreWe moved like a float through the festivalAnd I said "My countrymen, we mustn't be frightened no more."And we left and went back WestTo my tent and turnedAnd we there til his behavior showed improvementAnd his movements became fluid and more humanAnd when my whip swung and crackedI drew blood from his backAnd he learned how to turn around riding bicyclesAnd to juggle and jump giant firewallsAnd the spectacle, it seemedAs though it was ready to be seen by the publicAnd when our costumes were preparedWe opened the doorAnd everyone I knew was thereThey watched me stand aloneUnder my spotlight cone on the floorAnd I said, there's nothing that can't be earnedOf the oceans or of the dirtOf the sky or the universeOh, if you want itIt can't be set inside any stoneIt can't be overturned or brokeSee how this violent and savage oafOh now is tranquilAnd the lights swung close to my captiveThe solemn crowd opened their mouth in praiseAnd when our audience eruptedIt caught the beast off guardAll I had trained to be trustedTurned wild and rough into the brute he was at heartAnd when giant began stampedingThe crowd rose to runBut the panic just left more people bleedingImpaled on tusks and strangled by it's trunkAnd we cried out and cursed the monsterBut we had ourselves to blameSo we laid there, dying and slaughteredAs the Goliath god we thought we'd caught got away
