Bloody dripping from their lips... Teeth sinking into heart

If the elephants have past lives
yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper


And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card
when I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
when all
I want is to just forget you


If the tiger shall protect her young
then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night


And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart

Blood dripping from their lips
and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call

When you know
I need some peace of mind

If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind


And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time
or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
and laughing as you bleed


So for those of you falling in love

keep it kind

Keep it good

Keep it right

Throw yourself in the midst of danger
but keep one eye open at night
