You And Me And The Elephant

There’s no room left in this room we share
There’s no light and there’s no air
There’s just gray and wrinkly skin
There’s a word we dare not speak
Shakes the walls - the floors creak
Underneath the weight of this mess we’re in

It’s been here so long - I don’t even know where we went wrong
It’s eaten all the food, drank all the beer - now we can’t get out of here
It’s gotten much too strong

But I’m glad that we have this time
To spend together where everything’s fine
It’s just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant

There’s not much left not underfoot
It’s got so I don’t know where to look anymore
I keep my eyes to the ground
Once in a while you start to stretch out
Open your arms, take a deep breath but
Then you hear the trumpet sound

I’m just joking dear
there’s nothing worth mentioning standing over here
And no-one’s going anywhere
We’ve all made ourselves so comfortable!

I’m glad that we have this time
To spend together where everything’s fine
It’s just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant
No calls - we don’t answer the phone
But it feels great to be here alone
With just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant

… I can feel the floors crack beneath me …

I’m glad that we have this time
To spend together where everything’s fine
It’s just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant
No calls - it might answer the phone
But it feels great to be here alone
With just you and me
And the elephant
