Songtexte We Are Elephants - Maddy Walsh

Ladies and gentleman,
boys and girls
children of all ages
you are the greatest show on earth

I look around and all I see
are people throwing stones
We burn the web of spokes that reach
from castle to ghetto

We are elephants
dressed up in the circus
We can heed the ringmaster
He taught us some tricks

There is a darkness inside you
It's ruthless, shameless, and it's smooth
Convinces you you don't have enough
Tells you to stay when you outta run - run

We are elephants
dressed up in the circus
We can heed the ringmaster
He taught us some tricks

Oh, bind me to you
Without another
I would never
know the steps
to dance to my own tune
You are the greatest

The light in every desperate bum
illuminates the bulb in everyone
You double down when you lift your thumb
to see who picks you up

We are elephants
dressed up in the circus
We can heed the ringmaster
He taught us some tricks
We can stand on our hind legs
We dance in the circus
We can cry alone in our cages
or we stampede

We are elephants
dressed up in the circus
We can heed the ringmaster
He taught us some tricks
We can stand on our hind legs
We can dance in the circus
We could cry alone in our cages
or we stampede
or we stampede
or we stampede
or we stampede
You are the greatest show on earth
