Elephant Head

[Verse 1]
One thousand stillborn thoughts
To cradle and hold
With my mother's hands
I'll place them on my chest and hope
For these empty winds to breathe

[Verse 2]
No, I won't rest
When there are houses to shape
Call out to these waters
Yes, you Great Lakes
Do I bury them with their names?

[Verse 3]
You cut me open
Just to see what's within
Clean up these organs
Wrap your words with my skin

[Verse 4]
I guess I'm just looking for a transplant lover
With infinite regrets
Someone who'll dance around matters
And sing of caskets

[Verse 5]
What do you say?
Now, what do you say?
It is a strange year and it appears
That I am stuck

[Chorus]
But I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion

[Verse 6]
Stranded in the North Sea
Yeah, a wild dream
Frantic city keep my warm, this fall
It's been a heavy year

[Bridge]
Bathurst, Spadina, St. George and Bay
Am I to condemn, the hands of darkness?
Now, tell it to the quiet fire of my blood
Tell it to the eager fever of my heart
Who will arrange the funeral?

[Chorus]
I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion

[Outro]
I predict a graceful expulsion
I predict a graceful expulsion
