"Seeing The Elephant" lyrics

Hannibal crossed Donner Pass
Everything went by in a flash
Chew on the fat of the land
Throw the map out, according to plan
Had to go east to go west
Never give a hang except in jest
Greyhound bus to Laramie
Bummed a ticket to the Charm City

You can get your kicks
On Route 66
Or you can plunge down on the knick
Seeing the elephant
Seeing the elephant
Seeing the elephant
Elephant

Over the mountains of the moon
Wet sun slippy and shadows loom
I lost the one that I love best
Into the eyes of a guest
Had to go west to go east
Never give a hang in the least
A meteor fell into Sutter's hand
Nothing but sand in my pan

Seen this town before
And heard all the lore
Once more
Seeing the elephant
Seeing the elephant
Seeing the elephant
Elephant

Elephant ear bent to the call
Coming from beyond the wall
Gabriel, blow your horn
Blood abound from the stone
Had to go south to go north
Never give a hang except what I adore

I saw the elephant
It was so majestephant
Seeing the pachyderm
Seeing the pachyderm
Seeing the pachyderm
Seeing the elephant
Elephant
Elephant
Elephant
