Eating Styes From Elephant Eyes — The Shins

They want trash They want you batting a lash I'll eat styes from elephants' eyes They're in touch With their inner crutch They wont stab but they'll grab And that's just like the other

We get nerves And we drown it in booze We take lives from elephants' eyes They're in bed With their cutting lead It wont stop if you shop With the lovers of bloodshed
