What the Elephants Know Songtext
von James Maddock

Broke down on a country road with not a soul in sight
I lay down on the back seat and I waited
"We don′t know what we don't know," said the man in the song
Upon that I meditated

We don′t know what the antelopes know
We don't know what the crocodile know
What the elephants know
We don't know what the polar bears know
We don′t know what the aliens know
What the elephants know

Before all the humans were beings at all
Before Blue Ice and My Way
A Garden of Eden was the whole wide world
Not a diner off the highway


We don′t know what the antelopes know
We don't know what the crocodile know
What the elephants know
We don′t know what the polar bears know
We don't know what the aliens know
What the elephants know

The lions in the jungle and the snakes in the grass
All going about their business
Seasons come and go and reshape the land
Nobody′s hanging around for Christmas

We don't know what the antelopes know
We don′t know what the crocodile know
What the elephants know
We don't know what the polar bears know
We don't know what the aliens know
What the elephants know

We don′t know what the killer whales know
We don′t know what the buffalo know
What the elephants know
We don't know what the porcupine knows
We don′t know what the wildebeest know
What the elephants know
What the elephants know
What the elephants know
