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 |
