Elephant Chains

Holding hands with you and him Playing elephant chains Now I wring my hands in shame At the thought of the game When your family fades Then your friends will stay near Drinking beer with you and her Playing tell truth or dare When the bell rings grab your coat This one's going as well When your family fades Then your friends will stay near When your friends disappear Your job becomes your career A thousand words an hour goes in Smiling into the glare Little bones begin to groan Seize the joints in mid-air When your family fades Then your friends will stay near When your friends disappear Your job becomes your career When your job is a strain You get out of your brain Soaring on an eagle ride Colours mounting in waves Paranoia by your side As you crumble away When your family fades Then your friends will stay near When your friends disappear Your job becomes your career When your job is a strain You get out of your brain When your brain starts to blow Is there nowhere to go
