11 Riding Elephants
F
V1
Tiny guy he sits and says, "Oh, I run the show."
on a beast that goes where it will go, he holds.
Such a feat to stand and say, "Oh, I don't know."
Hard to sit, admit the animal controls.
CH
Wherever it goes I can feign control
and what it tramples I explain the reasons full
CH2
All of the things I like I ask if I can
All the things I don't I ask if I musth
V2
Nice to think we make decisions with the head
It's a blow to know that it's the heart Instead
A big thing lumbering where it wants to go
I love my elephant and so I let it roam
<CH-CH2>
....I smell the must of the elephant's dung
I smell the must, I smell the musth.
