Elephant's Memory Lyrics

	作词 : Sexton
	Calling, calling
	Father wanted to run away
	With the circus as a kid
	Or a teen escape to the priestly way
	And in a way he almost did
	Twelve children 'round the supper table
	Every blessed one is his
	Chanting ten turns 'round the rosary
	The holy circus that it is.
	And me, I'm looking on with elephant's memory
	At that old elephant in the living room
	You know the one we try not to see
	The one who aint gonna be leaving too soon
	He's calling, he's calling.
	Mother asked me what I'm grateful for
	We make up something one by one
	Father says forgive us sinners lord
	Staring right at me when he's done
	Baby sees the elephant like she sees the steam rising off her plate
	But soon enough she'll fall in line
	And finally learn to look away
	I think he's calling, he's calling
	As the secrecy's keeping the lock on the gate
	Guarding us in our safe place
	Watching and waiting for someone to step out of line
	Enforcing with anti-grace
	All of you keepers and wanna be sleepers
	Wake up there's a message so clear
	I saw the elephant and I looked him in the eye
	And he begged me not to tell you he's here
	But he's here. He's here
	And he's calling, he's calling.
