There's an elephant on my shoulder nThere's a monkey on my backnAnd if something were to ever come between them nThe floorboards would crack nnAnd send shivers to the ceiling nEchoes through the walls nUp and gone and lost forever nLike a teardrop just before it fallsnnNow if it's high time to get going nIf it's high time to move nAll our friends will come and let us know it nLike the moment could not be too soon nnWe'll make time like its fiction nWe'll pretend that what is written must well have beennWe'll raise the restrictions nFind a way for all the instruments to blendnnWe'll take flight and take turnsnTell stories and weave them with a spinnAnd the ocean will come and spit her wisdom nAs she's an outsider and she's looking innnHer wind will blow, through in stereonAnd we'll know just why we're herennWe'll know why we're herenWe'll know, we'll know whynBut you were nowhere near nWhy, oh why, oh wellnnOh, what are you looking for? nWho are you looking for?nAnd why are you looking?nnCause in an instant it all could come back to make sensenPour the truth out all around to avoid tomorrow's regret nFor a broken heart in half is certain to spillnLike the burn of orange, red and black ash on a white cigarette nAnd still, there's a lot shit on my table nThere's a target on my soul nAnd if I ever get to break it up between them nMy loneliness is sure to show nAnd with the wind it will blow nThrough in stereo nAnd we'll know just why we were herennWe'll know why we're nYou and I but you were nowhere nearnWhy, oh why, oh wellnWhy, oh why, oh wellnWhy, oh why, oh well.
