lyrics

Everything you say is cursed,
Once it's out in the universe,
You're liable to regret it.
You'll wish you never said it.

So the silence is what we choose,
Cause baby we got a lot to lose.

Let's drink poison together,
We'll toast the elephant in the room.
Let's drink poison together,
We'll toast the elephant in the room.
Cause nobody knows him better than we two.

When you're sitting with a pretty girl
And her come-ons begin to slur,
I don't want to hear about it,
Cause I'm so full of doubt it makes me sick.

So be careful what tales you tell,
I might not take them very well.

Let's drink poison together,
We'll toast the elephant in the room.
Let's drink poison together,
We'll toast the elephant in the room.
Cause nobody knows him better than we two.

Whether we talk or not there's poison in our blood,
It will be the death of me,
The death of us.
But good friend denial,
He says we got a while,
Till goings get tough
And ivory tusks
Rip our love then trample it to dust.
They're going to trample it to dust.

This is not a joke,
It's a cold hard fact.
I keep looking over my shoulder for a knife in my back.
I want to forget that it hurts so badly.
I want to laugh.
I want to laugh.
I want to laugh.
Till it all goes black...

So, let's drink poison together,
We'll toast the elephant in the room.
Let's drink poison together,
We'll toast the elephant in the room.
Cause nobody knows him better than we two.
