Snake That Swallowed the Elephant Songtext
von Tele Novella

We were happy in our old coal town
Hiding when the landlord came around
Our feet they never touch the ground
Something out of nothing for our crown

When you try to
See beyond whats there you can
You don′t see the snake that swallowed the elephant
Our world was once one and the same
Soon I came to see we'd go our ways
I never thought that I would find
All of your desires were none of mine


We held onto what our silhouette′s to you
In a window that you don't care to look through
When you try to, see beyond whats there you can
You don't see the snake that swallowed the elephant

From the dust a desperate call
Wishing to be anything at all
You can only stay a while
So you′d best remain a child
Does the grass (?) in the snow
Ever worry that it should have grown
To be something else instead
Its all in your head
We held onto what our silhouettes to you
In a window that you don care to look o-o-oh
When you try to see beyond whats there you can
You don′t see the snake that swallowed the elephant
Ah-ah-ahh
