elephants

and if the hawks in the trees need the dead

if you're living you don't stand a chance

for a time though you share the same bed

there are only two ends to this dance

you can flee with your wounds just in time

or lie there as he feeds

watching yourself ripped to shreds

and laughing as you bleed

so for those of you falling in love

keep it kind

keep it good

keep it right

throw yourself in the midst of danger

but keep one eye open at night
