Distracted by Elephants
The city bends
Beneath a painted afternoon
A paper moon
Is drifting through a room of blue
Distracted by elephants
Moving through the ceiling
Quietly revealing
Shapes I've never known
The traffic hums
Like distant waves beneath the floor
I lose my place
And wonder what I came here for
Distracted by elephants
Walking through my daydream
Nothing's what it may seem
Everything has grown
The walls dissolve
Into a field of silver light
A hundred trunks
Are tracing patterns in the night
Distracted by elephants
Floating through the silence
Far beyond the sirens
Calling me back home.
**Distracted by Elephants**
They cross the road
I called out through the drifting haze
They raise their trunks
I got swept up and lost my place
**Distracted by elephants**
The drums and the echo
The drums and the echo
I'm in a dream
There's nothing so strange
As wandering under painted skies
But what I tried to say
The parade just carried me away
**Distracted by elephants**
The drums and the echo
Crawling through the jungle vines
I'm in a dream
They fill the clouds
With silver shapes and amber light
They circle round
Then disappear into the night
**Distracted by elephants**
The drums and the echo
The drums and the echo
I'm in a dream
The stars all bend and sway
As the moon hums a lullaby
But what I tried to find
Was lost among a thousand eyes
**Distracted by elephants**
The drums and the echo
Walking throug
h the open sky
I'm in a dream.** 🎵🐘**
🎵 **Distracted by Elephants** 🎵
**Verse 1**
I was walking through a tangerine sky,
Floating on a feather as the moon drifted by,
Crystal butterflies were singing in my hair,
When a purple elephant appeared from nowhere.
His tusks were made of starlight, his eyes were liquid green,
He danced across a rainbow where the silver rivers gleam,
I tried to ask a question but the answer never came,
Because a thousand tiny elephants were spelling out my name.
**Chorus**
I'm distracted by elephants, marching through my mind,
Leaving trails of neon footprints that are impossible to find.
Distracted by elephants, drifting through the haze,
Painting cosmic mandalas in a million different ways.
Oh, distracted by elephants, beneath the candy sun,
Every time I think I'm focused, another one has come.
**Verse 2**
The clocks were growing flowers in a garden made of sound,
And jellyfish balloons were floating upside down,
A saxophone volcano started melting into light,
While elephants on unicycles vanished into night.
One balanced on Saturn, one slept inside a cloud,
One whispered secret equations that were far too strange and loud,
I followed their procession through a doorway in a tree,
Where every leaf was laughing and every root was free.
**Chorus**
I'm distracted by elephants, marching through my mind,
Leaving trails of neon footprints that are impossible to find.
Distracted by elephants, drifting through the haze,
Painting cosmic mandalas in a million different ways.
Oh, distracted by elephants, beneath the candy sun,
Every time I think I'm focused, another one has come.
**Bridge**
Trumpets made of moonbeams, echo through the void,
Spinning kaleidoscopic dreams that can never be destroyed.
The universe is wobbling like a marble in the sea,
And every elephant is somehow another part of me.
**Final Chorus**
I'm distracted by elephants, dancing in the glow,
Through the endless psychedelic circus only dreamers know.
Distracted by elephants, forever wandering free,
Through a jungle made of galaxies and electric poetry.
Oh, distracted by elephants, the parade goes rolling on,
And when the
last one disappears, a million more are born. 🎵🐘🌈✨
