If the elephants had past lives 
and are destined to always remember 
then it's no wonder how they scream 
like you and I they must have some temper 
 
i am dreaming of them on the planes  
dirtying up their beds  
watching for some sign of rain  
to cool their hot heads  
 
and how dare that you send me that card  
when im doing all that i can do 
you are forcing me to remember  
when all i want is to just forget you 
 
if the tiger shall protect her young 
then tell me how did you slip by 
all my instincts have failed me for once 
i must have somehow slept the whole night 
 
i am dreaming of them with their kill 
tearing it all apart 
blood dripping from their lips 
teeth sinking into heart 
 
and how dare that you say that youll call 
when you know i need some peace of mind 
if you have to take sides with the animals  
wont you do it with one who is kind  
 
if the hawks in the trees need the dead 
if youre living you don't stand a chance 
for a time though you share the same bed 
there are only two ends to this dance  
 
you can flee with your wounds just in time 
or lie there as they feed 
watching yourself ripped to shred  
laughing as you bleed 
 
so for those of you falling in love 
keep it kind keep it good keep it right 
throw yourself in the midst of danger  
but keep one eye open at night
