White Elephant歌词

作词 : Nick Cave/Warren Ellis
作曲 : Nick Cave/Warren Ellis
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
Verse 2
I am 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 ****ing facе
If you think of coming around here
Verse 3
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 ****ing 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 will shoot you all for free if you so much as look at me
Chorus
A time is coming
A time is nigh
For the kingdom
In the sky
Don't ask who
Don't ask why
There's a kingdom in the sky
We're all coming home
For a while
A time is coming
A time is nigh
For the kingdom in the sky
We're all coming home
For a while
A time is coming
A time is nigh
For the kingdom in the sky
We're all coming home
