Sharpen your stunted tusks in this city night.
Yesterday a wide-eyed stabbing,
Tonight a crowbar fight, desperate fight,
A desperate fight.
Sleeping alone and drugged, frightened, fat and wet.
I swear I'm chasing sanity,
Lost easy laughter and forgetting.
(Chorus)
I'm going south
To feed the animals.
I'm going south
Elephantine.
Elephant in drought-struck shock is trumpeting her grief,
Stays with her dying baby, trunk-stroking, dry and pursued,
She dies too.
How can I justify wailing at these walls?
Every great nation ends up deserving war.
