I met out in the southwestern desert
He was liv ing on mushrooms and sun
He said he must have been as tall
as that barbed wire fence
Before he felt the love from anyone
He said his father was a cruel man
And his own mother hated him
Probably just for being a man
Oh, animal, animal, we don't get scared
We try to hide any way we can
We try to hide any way we can
Baby elephants get tied to a rope,
too thick for a baby to break
They're ready when it's clear
they've given up on ever getting away
And then grown -up elephants,
Imagine living with seven tons
of strength you've never known
Imagine living with strength
He said he was headed for nowhere
He said crying that night felt just like getting
an elephant off his chest
Sometimes it's just too much
To look in each other's eyes
Desire and fear, they all live right in here
You can't usually tell who drives
You can't usually tell who drives
Baby elephants get tied to a rope
too thick for a baby to break
They're ready when it's clear
they've given up on ever getting away
And then grown -up elephants,
Imagine living with seven tongues,
a strength you've never known
Imagine living with a you've
out in the southwestern desert
With a river in the corner of his eye
You won't forget it's precious
finding water in the desert
You won't forget the color of the sky
You won't forget the color of the sky
