BALLAD OF UNFORTUNATE MAMMALS

from HIDE AND SEEK (EP) Garden Portal by Nicholas Bamberger

/

lyrics

Love is sharper than stones or sticks;
Lone as the sea, and deeper blue;
Loud in the night as a clock that ticks;
Longer-lived than the Wandering Jew.
Show me a love was done and through,
Tell me a kiss escaped its debt!

Women and elephants never forget.

Think of us togehther sitting there
Reading stories written deep in your eyes
Think of the years like an unending song
Think of a quiet place we never have known

In a wolrd of our own...

Ever a man, alas, would mix,
Ever a man, heigh-ho, must woo;
So he's left in the world-old fix,
Thus is furthered the sale of rue.
Son, your chances are thin and few-
Won't you ponder, before you're set?

Women and elephants never forget.


Down from ceasar past joyson hicks
Echoes the warning and ever new
Though they were trained to amusing tricks
Gentler they the pigeons cew
Careful, son, the curs'ed of two-
Either one is a dangerous pet;
Son, your chances are thin and few-
Won't you ponder, before you're set?

Women and elephants
Women and elephants
Women and elephants never forget.

Think of us togehther sitting there
Reading stories written deep in your eyes
Think of the years like an unending song
Think of a quiet place we never have known

In a world of our own...

Prince, a precept I'd leave for you
Coined in Eden existing yet
Skirt the parlor and shun the zoo

Women and elephants never forget.
