Elephant
Tame Impala Lyrics
Well he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you're dreamin' about being loved by him
Too bad your chances are slim
And it's not like Mr. Shuck
To get shy when I ask who always is on top
There must be something deep down in the middle down there
He's not too easily scared
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh, look, see there he is now coming down the stairs
(Here he comes)
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah)
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one remembered a thing when they saw him again
That's how it is 'til the end (yeah)

Well he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you're dreamin' about being loved by him
Too bad your chances are slim
And it's not like Mr. Shuck
To get shy when I ask who always is on top
There must be something deep down in the middle down there
He's not too easily scared
He's got friends but they got the feeling
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh, look, see there he is now coming down the stairs
(Here he comes)
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah)
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one remembered a thing when they saw him again
That's how it is 'til the end (yeah)

Well he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you dreaming about being loved by him
Too bad your chances are slim
And it’s not like Mr. Shuck to get shy when they ask him who is on top
There must be something deep down in the dark down there
But he’s not too easily scared
He’s got friends but they got the fear
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh look, hey, there he is now coming down the stairs
Here he comes...
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac
‘Cause he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one remembered a thing when they saw him again
That’s how it is 'til the end
Yeah!
Elefante
Aposto que ele se sente como um elefante
Sacudindo sua grande tromba cinza só por que ele quer
Ele sabe que você sonha em ser amada por ele
Pena que suas chances são poucas
Ele não é como Sr. Shock pra ficar tímido quando perguntam quem está no topo
Deve haver algo profundo, no meio dessa escuridão ai embaixo
Mas ele não se assusta facilmente
Ele tem amigos mas eles tem medo
Não se importariam muito se ele simplesmente desaparecesse
Oh, olhe la, ele está descendo as escadas agora
Lá vem ele...
Ele tirou os espelhos de seu Cadillac
Porque ele não gosta que pareça como se estivesse olhando para trás
Ele fala como se sua opinião fosse um simples fato
Alguém agarrou seu colarinho
Ele chorou todo o caminho para casa
Ninguém lembrou de nada quando viu ele novamente
E é assim até o final
Yeah!

I’m still scared of it 😂 the giant walking elephant colored heads are the worst part 🙃
Jeff Strichart
@Keep Watch I know that. I have tripped around 100-150 times on various substances and done astral travel too. One time a combination of mushrooms and LSD sent me further out on the astral plane than anything else I ever did. Anyway the kid said LSD so I told him it was not around yet. That's all.

Seriously thought this was the official music video. This goes too perfect with it. Especially when the Elephants are stomping.
