Eating Styes From Elephant's Eyes

The Shins · Unknown [2000]

They want trash

They want you batting a lash

They'll eat styes from elephant's eyes

They're in touch with their inner crutch

They won't stab but they grab

And that's just like the other



They're getting news

And we're drowning in booze

We take lies from elephant's eyes

They're in bed with the crowd eating lead

It won't stop if you shop with the lovers of bloodshed



I went to school

I saw slides of where I'm meant to be



We read time like a kid eating limes

We're in town when bees are let out

We get laughs through an osmotic patch

We're attached to the past 'cause the future's a bleak one



I went to school

I saw slides of where I'm meant to be
