Distracted by Elephants

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. 🎵🐘🌈✨
