Pink Elephant Songtext
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.
passion 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."
