Pachyderm Nightmare Songtext
von Them Bird Things

She will dream like an ocean
As she hangs in the air
She will dream the dream,
A pachyderm nightmare

She will dream like a river
As she dangles from a rope
She will strangle on tears,
A bride about to elope

Bigger than a battleship,
Taller than a tower,
Mightier than Caesar
And all Rome′s power
Big Mary ain't scary
Quite to the contrary
She′s a little flower


A prayer in an elephant's ear
Is worth two in the wind
A bushel and a peck
And a knot around your neck
Must mean it's the end

She will dream like a dreadnought,
A leviathan of the air
She will dream like a sunspot,
A trapezist without a care

Bigger than a battleship,
Taller than a tower,
Mightier than Caesar
With all Rome′s power...
Big Mary ain′t scary
Quite to the contrary
She's a little flower

She will dream of Charley
And the last thing he said
I hate to do this, darling,
But I gotta hang you dead
′Cause you are
Bigger than a battleship,
Taller than a tower...
