lyrics

Oliphant Touches Ivory Clutches
lightning between our hands
the thunder came when you did

Turn the page over
start fresh tonight
brush the pain off your shoulder
the stars don’t always align

smithereens of sunshine
figurines with pasted smiles

oh the light of day
hasn’t touched your face for days
but think,
what if it’s too late?
it might be great for a change of state
time to compensate for
the expressionless demise
unfortunately you think its good style
no

you form a maze and float on over the other way
olliiiii, your infrasound energy all around
don’t make the night turn cold until your ears flap
with a seismic clap, we’d be silly not to listen to you
and your nüvüdü, oli

they want to take your tusks, take your home
take everything that you own
take your sister’s strength
brother’s vulnerability
eldest mother’s favorite lake
they take take take take
til it all goes away

clean the wounds with sticky blood
we’ll be seeping through the mud
