Boomtown Rats - The Elephant's Graveyard lyrics

rate me

Did you slip the noose when the beast broke loose

The elephants graveyard ain't the place to be

And white turns black, dies of heart attack

The elephants graveyard needs the change of scene.

You got the money, but who needs the tension

And fear's no cheaper on the old age pension

There's just one thing that I forgot to mention

What've you got to lose when you know

You're guilty 'till proven guilty

Isn't that the law

Guilty 'till proven guilty

That's what we saw

Do the blue rinse shuffle with the beach boy muscle

Waiting all your life for this golf cart life

You see the judge and then you check the jury

She does her hair and calls the lawyer curti

It's Disneyland under martial law

Titch on the TV tell me what you saw

They wre guilty 'till proven guilty etc....

Justice isn't blind

It just looks the other way

Not from want of trying

I have nothing left to say

The sky burns bright, 24 hour night

And you don't pay death duties when your on death duty

You came here looking for the peace and quiet

The healthy air and the healthy diet

The sea's so calm but the street's a riot

Taken years off your life when you've no years left to give

Yeah you're

Guilty 'till proven guilty etc.

Shame shame shimmy shame.

Shame shame shimmy shame.
