Elephant Lyrics - 9 - Damien Rice

This has got to die 

I said this has got to stop 

This has got to lie down 

With someone else on top 

You can keep me pinned 

'Cause it's easier to tease 

But you can't paint an elephant 

Quite as good as she 

And she may cry like a baby 

And she may drive me crazy 

'Cause I am lately lonely 

So why'd you have to lie? 

I take it I'm your crutch 

The pillow in your pillow case 

Is easier to touch

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

And when you think you've sinned 

Do you fall upon your knees? 

Or do you sit within your picture? 

Do you still forget the breeze? 

And she may rise, if I sing you down 

And she may wisely cling to the ground 

'Cause I am lately horny 

So why would she take me horny? 

What's the point of this song? Or even singing? 

You've already gone, why am I clinging? 

Well I could throw her out, and I could live without 

And I could do it all for you 

I could be true 

Tell me if you want me to lie 

'Cause this has got to die 

Photos 

I said this has got to stop 

This has got to lie down, down 

With someone else on top 

You can both keep me pinned 

'Cause it's easier to tease 

But you can't make me happy 

Quite as good as me 

Well you know that's a lie
