Everything in Perfect Motion

Elephant Song
by Sky Cries Mary

There once was a day
When the elephants thought they were clouds
And one day when Buddha was teaching a group of small children under a tree
One cloud forgot it was an elephant
And came crashing down through the branches, crushing one child
From that day on, Buddha condemned all elephants to walk the earth
And so as they walk
Their cousins' duty to follow, the clouds
And so as you see
When elephants walk, it is known that rain is to fall

From high and low
They exit at the axis
The fall of bodies
Falling through the womb of space
They are exposed at the lotus of her sex
The sleep-abandoned figures descend within a horizontal avalanche
Passionately perceptive to their cores
They know that now for now is the fitting time

Now is the fitting time
The judgement is down
The rain-bearing figures are condemned to walk the earth
And so they are excreted
In an excess of rapture
A torrential revolution of blood and nature
And so descends every elephant from that day on

Now look at her
This beautiful creature
As she walks across the sculptured world
She remembers a day
Before a long time ago
When the roots grew up towards the sky
And the erotic clouds, their dear dear cousins, drifted overhead
As crying volcanoes emptied themselves into the sea
Endless days of the sun making love with the ocean

Everything in perfect rhythm
Everything in perfect motion
Everything in perfect rhythm
Everything in perfect motion

When you see the clouds overhead
It's going to be rain
It's going to be rain
It's going to be rain


Listen to the song. It's one of my favorites.
