White Elephant lyrics

The white hunter sits

on his porch

With his elephant gun

and his tears

He'll shoot you for free

if you come around here

A protester kneels on

the neck of a statue

The statue says,

"I can't breathe"

The protester says,

"Now you know how it feels"

And he kicks it into the sea

I'm a Botticelli Venus with a penis

Riding an enormous scalloped fan

I'm a sea foam woman

rising from the spray

And I'm coming to do you harm

With a gun in my pants

full of elephant tears

And a seahorse on each arm

With my elephant gun of tears

I'll shoot you all for free

If you evеr think about

coming 'round here

I'll shoot you in the fucking facе

If you think of coming around here

I'm an ice sculpture

melting in the sun

I'm an ice sculpture

with an elephant gun

I'm an ice sculpture

made of elephant-sized tears

Raining gas and

salt upon your heads

The president has called in the Feds

I've been planning this for years

I'll shoot you in the fucking face

If you think of coming around here

I'll shoot you for just for fun

I'm a statue lying

on my side in the sun

With the memory of an elephant

Evaporating before your eyes

And becoming a great grey

cloud of wrath

Roaring my salt upon the earth

I'll shoot you all for free

if you so much as look at me

A time is coming

A time is nigh

For the kingdom

In the sky

Don't ask who

Don't ask why

'Cause there's a

kingdom in the sky

We're all coming home

For a while

A time is coming

(a time is coming)

A time is nigh

(a time is nigh)

For the kingdom in the sky

(in the sky)

We're all coming home

(we're all coming home)

For a while

A time is coming

(a time is coming)

A time is nigh

(a time is nigh)

For the kingdom

(for the kingdom)

in the sky

(in the sky)

We're all coming home

In a while

(in a while)

(Kingdom in the sky)
