The Elephant (Done Too Soon) est une chanson en Anglais
We drank Mexican chocolate
Spiced with cinnamon
Watching the telly
Hoping she’d win
You sat in your own world
Immersed in a phone
I dreamed of the day
We'd go it alone
You don't listen to me
You don't know what I'm for
So I tell the universe
As I stare at the floor
Saying What are we doing here
Now that our work is done?
And we're all alone in this placed call home
With nothing left but "fun"
The elephant in the room
Is we got done too soon
And now what's the use of living loose
If we've already won
I wish we were on the run
(On ne sait plus quoi faire
Il faut recommencer, n'est-ce pas?)
Well the neighbors have been exchanged
Our lives have been rearranged
With nothing to do but wait to die
Or create without asking why
What is there left to do
Now that our work is through?
And we're all alone in this place called home
With nothing left to prove
The elephant in the room
Is we got done too soon
And now what's the use of living loose
When we've already won
I wish we were on the run.
Ba ba ba ba ...
There's two of us in the room
Four cats, three ghosts, one elephant
Some pictures on the wall
Remind us what mattered most of all
The elephant we ignore
As we watch the judges keep the score
The Spirit takes a seat
Waiting 'til the day we meet again.
(Où est l'esprit dans cette maison?
Où est l'esprit dans cette vie?)
Smiles paint the ballroom tonight
If we dress up and dance
Will it make it all right?
We left the elephant home
Back with the ghosts
We'll clean up the mess
But first make a toast
To the future, the present
But mostly the past
Wondering why it happened so fast
What else can we do
Now our work is through?
And we're all alone in this place called home
With nothing left to lose
The elephant in the room
Is we got done too soon
And now what's the use of hanging loose
When our old life is done?
I wish we were on the run
And we're all alone in this place called home
With nothing left to do
I guess we got done too soon.
Ba ba ba ba....
