Julian Swales - Elephantine lyrics

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