Dead Yellow Elephant Songtext
von The Stiff Joints

As the stars look down on me
So disappointingly
I forget all the things I used to know
I have no idea where they seem to go
Now I really don′t know what to do
To see it through
And I know it's not your fault
But some things I can′t alter
When the world seems to make no sense
I can't imagine a time I'd have to think about you in the past tense
Now I really don′t know what to do
To see it through


Why′d you have to do that
When you know that I can't?
You could make it so much easier
Lock me in a room
With a dead yellow elephant
Why′d you have to do that
When you know that I can't?
You could make it so much easier
Lock me in a room
With a dead yellow elephant

I′m picking up the twist
Blood and mud and mist
You'll wake me up from my rotten sleep
Come to my bedside with a cup of tea
And tell me what to think and who to be
Help me believe
That everything will work out right
Angels visit in the night time
Make some magic of this putrid mess
Defeat all of my enemies
And destroy my negative memories
Leave me just whatever it is I most need
And leave me be


Why′d you have to do that
When you know that I can't?
You could make it so much easier
Lock me in a room
With a dead yellow elephant
Why'd you have to do that
When you know that I can′t?
You could make it so much easier
You could make it so much easier
You could make it so much easier
Lock me in a room
With a dead yellow elephant
