nick cave & warren ellis - white elephant lyrics

[verse 1]
the white hunter sits on his porch
with his elephant gun and his tears
he’ll shoot you for free if you come around here
a protester kneels on the neck of a statue
the statue says “i can’t breathe”
the protester says “now you know how it feels”
and he kicks it into the sea

[verse 2]
i am a botticelli venus with a p+n+s
riding an enormous scalloped fan
i’m a sea foam woman rising from the spray
and i’m coming to do you harm
with a gun in my pants full of elephant tears
and a seahorse on each arm
with my elephant gun of tears i’ll shoot you all for free
if you evеn think about coming round here
i’ll shoot you in the f+cking facе
if you think of coming around here

[verse 3]
i’m an ice sculpture melting in the sun
i’m an ice sculpture with an elephant gun
i’m an ice sculpture made of elephant+sized tears
raining gas and salt upon your heads
the president has called in the feds
i’ve been planning this for years
i’ll shoot you in the f+cking face
if you think of coming around here
i’ll shoot you for just for fun
i’m a statue lying on my side, in the sun
with the memory of an elephant
evaporating before your eyes
and becoming a great grey cloud of wrath
roaring my salt upon the earth
i will shoot you all for free if you so much as look at me
[chorus]
a time is coming
a time is nigh
for the kingdom
in the sky
don’t ask who
don’t ask why
there’s a kingdom in the sky
we’re all coming home
for a while
a time is coming
a time is nigh
for the kingdom in the sky
we’re all coming home
for a while
a time is coming
a time is nigh
for the kingdom in the sky
we’re all coming home
in a while
