Elephant |
| She said, «Andy, you’re better than your past» |
| Winked at me and drained her glass |
| Crosslegged on the barstool, like nobody sits anymore |
| She said, «Andy, you’re taking me home» |
| But I knew she planned to sleep alone |
| I’d carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor |
| If I had fucked her before she got sick |
| I’d never hear the end of it |
| She don’t have the spirit for that now |
| We just drink our drinks and laugh out loud |
| Bitch about the weekend crowd |
| And try to ignore the elephant somehow |
| Somehow |
| She said, «Andy, you crack me up» |
| Seagrams in a coffee cup |
| Sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone |
| When she was drunk she made cancer jokes |
| Made up her own doctor’s notes |
| Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone |
| I’d sing her classic country songs |
| And she’d get high and sing along |
| She don’t have a voice to sing with now |
| We burn these joints in effigy |
| Cry about what we used to be |
| Try to ignore the elephant somehow |
| Somehow |
| I’ve buried her a thousand times |
| Giving up my place in line |
| But I don’t give a damn about that now |
| There’s one thing that’s real clear to me: |
| No one dies with dignity |
| We just try to ignore the elephant somehow |
| We just try to ignore the elephant somehow |
| We just try to ignore the elephant somehow |
| Somehow |
| Somehow |
