In honor of "Elephant" being linked on a Swedish blog, here is a blog post dedicated to the song!
To the best of my knowledge, this is the FIRST time we have ever publicly shared the lyrics. Lyrics to the other 5 songs on our EP to follow...
"I think I'll have a cigarette,"
she said,
"I've only had a few today."
"There's time to be illiterate,"
he said,
"I've read a few books in my day."
It's bigger than an elephant,
these thoughts of breaking down and losing ground.
The devil knows he's heaven sent
when he releases greed into the heart of the world.
We'll sit and we'll think
on this cold pavement ground.
Wrapped in the warmth of our flannel nightgowns.
One day we'll be lost,
but it won't be now.
So we'll be
whatever we are when we're first found.
La la la la la la la...
"I think I'll have a beer... or four,"
he said,
"I think I'll drink 'til I feel no more..."
She dances wild, she dances for
strangers she knows in her dreams,
that she'll never meet in the world.
We'll sit and we'll think
on this cold pavement ground.
Wrapped in the warmth of our flannel nightgowns.
One day we'll be lost,
but it won't be now.
So we'll be
whatever we are when we're first found.
La la la la la la la...

According to google translation, they've described us as "Stomp and gear hunting folk rock from New York." Can't say I really understand what that means, but it sounds pretty bad-ass. (Can anyone provide a more accurate translation?)
We've also switched the order on our bandcamp to have Elephant play first!
Elephant, after all, is a song about Fall (among other things,) and the crisp breeze of Autumn has certainly been showing it's presence these past few days.
