The Elephant Song Lyrics - Singles - Kat Robichaud And The Darling Misfits

On the day of the elephant, I looked up to the sky 

And wondered why I could not see the sunrise 

At the risk of intelligence, I opened up my eyes 

And saw with clarity the consequences 

And it ripped a gaping hole in my soul 

And it snuffed out all the dreams when I was young 

And little girls are told someday their prince will come 

That they're entitled to a life that's better than their mom's 

But wind up with a man just like their dad 

In the wake of the aftermath 

Severed from the womb 

I cry, a screaming infant blinking in the light 

God I wish I could take it back 

Like a tacky horror film 

Back to the moment when I was alive 

It's seven sorry years I'm never getting back 

So far along and yet so far off track 

I hate the genius after the fact 

It's never better in the second act 

Oh, Oh 

Is there anybody listening or am I truly talking to myself? 

So typical 

Oh, Oh 

Isn't everybody wishing they could be somebody better than themselves? 

Well, if ignorance is bliss, turn your head and make a wish and sing along 

Laaaaa 

Now here I am, Chained by your applause 

I'll never get, I'll never get 

Never enough of 

And here we are, what a sorry lot 

Wanting more than what we've got 

Never living in the present 

Always off 

Oh, Oh 

Is there anybody listening or am I truly talking to myself? 

So typical 

Oh, Oh 

Isn't everybody wishing they could be somebody better than themselves? 

Well, if ignorance is bliss, turn your head and make a wish and sing along
