Seeing the Elephant
10/1/08

The crowds dream by
The moon draws down
Where sea meets sky
And clowns are all around

We clutch, we cry
We drown, we die
Where flesh meets sea
And sings a lullabye

The night is day
Relentless are the stars
What strange, sad laughter everywhere

A siren song
It’s sweet depravity
Makes torpid souls
Their heart beats
Stop.

The crowds dream by
The moon draws down
Where sea meets sky
And clowns are all around

The night is day
Relentless are the stars
What strange, sad laughter everywhere

A siren song
Croons sweet depravity

We clutch we cry
We drown, we die

The wheel turns ‘round and a-
Round
La la la...
