  • Well, he feels like an elephant
    Shakin' his big grey trunk for the hell of it
    He knows that you're dreamin' about being loved by him
    Too bad your chances are slim

    And it's not like Mister Shuck
    To get shy when they ask him who is on top
    There must be something deep down in the dark down there
    He's not too easily scared

    He's got friends but they got the fear
    Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
    Oh, look, hey, there he is now coming down the stairs
    (Here he comes)

    He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah)
    'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
    He talks like his opinion is a simple fact

    Somebody grabbed his collar
    He cried the whole way home
    No one remembered a thing when they saw him again
    That's how it is 'til the end
    (Yeah) Writer/s: Jay Watson, Kevin Parker

  • Patricus Rexus from NoybAre you kidding me. Think of what has come out in the last 10 years that even attempts to rock. An ode to PF with a real back beat. You guys should jam with Wolfmother and see what comes out of it. Quit the commercial nonsense.
