Of Elephants and Skeletons Lyrics

Sweet melatonin, please kick in soon

And take me far from this room

Bring dreams of goodness, for goodness' sake

The ones that make me fear to wake

The elephants are on parade again

Left trails of ruin everywhere I've been

If I'd just kept my mouth shut all along

They'd still be in their rooms where they belong

I won't get in the way

I won't get in the way of you no more

Find the beasts, and grab them by the tusks

I won't get in the way

I won't get in the way of you no more

Tear them out and grind them into dust

When comes the mornin' through eyelids dark

And brings the gossip of the larks

Leave me to dreamin', for goodness' sake

'Cos I'm left without you when I wake

The skeletons are out to dance tonight

Shakin' their noisy bones right by your streetlight

If I would only lock that closet door

I may just learn a lesson or four

And not get in the way

I won't get in the way of you no more

Find the ghouls, and club them in the ribs

I won't get in the way

I won't get in the way of you no more

Crush the skulls and bury all the remnants

Damn these bones
