"Elephant Bones" Lyrics

Lord, send down some angels
And they'd better have guns
'Cause everybody's crazy down here
On everybody's drugs
Casinos, pornos, talk shows
Where white trash goes to die
Bums' push carts, crackhead squirrels
And birds too drunk to fly

Go
Keep dancin', it's the end of the world
She said, "Whoa baby, to the end of the world
"Come on, baby, it's the end of the world"
She said, "Smile to the end of the world"

Keep dancin' to the end of the world
She said, "Whoa baby, it's the end of the world
"Come on, baby, it's the end of the world"
She said, "Smile, it's the end of the world"

And they sent down some astronauts
To study our bones
Through the miles of garbage
Beneath all the junk that we owned
Carbon dating beer cans
Condoms and Twinkie wrappers
We were something beautiful, baby
What the hell happened?

Go
Keep dancin', it's the end of the world
She said, "Whoa baby, to the end of the world
"Come on, baby, it's the end of the world"
She said, "Smile to the end of the world"

Keep dancin' to the end of the world
She said, "Whoa, baby, it's the end of the world
"Come on, baby, it's the end of the world"
She said, "Smile, it's the end of the world"

If you were worth it, they'd skin you too
For new tennis shoes, or a couch that fits
The motif of the living room
And doesn't clash with your business suit
I want to be in a museum
Stuffed, and in a realistic position
Like I'm huntin', calling someone
To buy and something,
Way too busy to look up and see what was coming

Go
Keep dancin', it's the end of the world
She said, "Whoa baby, to the end of the world
"Come on, baby, it's the end of the world"
She said, "Smile to the end of the world"

Keep dancin' to the end of the world
She said, "Oh, baby, it's the end of the world
"Come on, baby, it's the end of the world"
She said, "Smile, it's the end of the world"

I want my bones kept next to somebody
Of cultural significance
Like Fonzie or William Shatner, ha ha
Yeah, somebody famous like Gilbert Gottfried
Or the dog from Frasier
That caveman they found?
He was a punk, I knew him in high school
Ha ha ha
