Erin Mckeown - Pink Elephant lyrics

And his shoulders stoop low 'neath the weight Of beer cases as it grows late In the alleyway college-like state. and the boy who'll grow cold Now so young and so bold Freely gets drunk of the cold Sittin' on top of the golden world, the pink elephant emerges With a smile and a twirl to open the bottles of time He said, "the life in your veins today will be frozen away tomorrow." Drag of smoke through white lips Blue dress caresses italian hips As the sedan rolls by rote upon its trip Sticky fumblings never clean Up the skirt of a black haired queen Chasing chasing tv dreams Sittin' on top of the golden world, the pink elephant emerges With a smile and a twirl to open the bottles of time He said, "the cheapness of today will be married away tomorrow." Entwined a quiet couple lays As colder grow the days And richer grow the means and ends of ways Tucked away cars and children sleep Contentment slowly creeps Lulls the happy happy sheep Sittin' on top of the golden world, the pink elephant emerges With a smile and a twirl to open the bottles of time He said, "the satisfaction of today will take your sight away tomorrow." And all that is pink it shall sink Your mind shall cease to think Therefore let me be the link Halflit by candle the room glows A virgin head she dimly shows Fears to allay future songs to compose Pa**ion beats to heat Intercourse nearly complete 'til the boy beats a hasty retreat Sittin' on top of the golden world, the pink elephant emerges With a smile and a twirl to open the bottles of time He said, "the lifeline of today will soon to fray away tomorrow."
