The morning belonged to the grapefruit
Ripe in the gold Rome sun
I throw out the rind
It's just bitter to me
Done done done
The skyline is made of the umbrella pine
And I wish we could climb everyone
But all I could see in the shape of the streets
Done done done
Cue the elephants
The torches they light in the woods
Can you and me save the city
I thought that we promised we would
But you've got your hands in your pockets
And you can't look me in the eye
And now for that eternal question
Why why why
And then he would look at those starlings
Together they swoop down as one
He'd read in that dizzy ellipsis
Done done done
We dangle our legs in the fountains
The pail is red and on
The aqueduct water is ancient
Done done done
Cue the elephants
The torches they light in the woods
Can you and me save the city
I thought that we promised we would
But you've got your hands in your pockets
And you can't look me in the eye
And now for that eternal question
Why why why
La la la
La luh la
La la la la la
La luh la
La luh la
La la la la la la uhh
La luh la
La la la la la la uhh
