Elephants

Painted as monsters,
Borracho, cansado
Do you know what the people say?
Plucked from the garden
Of wicked beliefs
I offer a rose
& smile with harmless teeth
Then slick back my hair,

Como estas, parting the seas,
Like lepers who stroll,
Why you afraid sweety?
I slick back my hair,
You know the devil's in there
