lyrics

I watched an elephant kicking around with his weight in an upstairs room
Through every window, his shadow raged and the ground vibrated
The image wasn’t enough
I had to get closer to know the experience
And I could hear my friends
They were running away

Pick out a couple of creatures you could see yourself never wanting to be around again

We find each other standing on opposite sides of a bucket
I get acutely aware of the shape of my stomach
You won’t stop asking for my permission
To take more ibuprofen for your condition

Pick out a couple of creatures you could see yourself never wanting to be around again
I got a terrible feeling this could signify the beginning of extinction by design
