So the saying says "an elephant never forgets"
Standing in a concrete cave
Swaying sad and insane
They walked over the ocean in their dreams they dream awake
Until the lights grew dim
Until the cop cars came
Everybody tells me this is crazy yes, I know it
I'm a man-man-man, man-man-man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
You know they call them killer whales
But you seem surprised when it pinned you down
To the bottom of the tank
Where you can't turn around
It took half your leg and both your lungs
When I craved I ate hearts of sharks, I know you know it
I'm a man-man-man, man-man-man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
Yes I'm a man-man-man, man-man, man-eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
It will end again in bullets fired
It will end again in bullets fired
Standing in a concrete cave
Swaying sad and insane
They walked over the ocean in their dreams they dream awake
Until the lights grew dim
Until the cop cars came
Everybody tells me this is crazy yes, I know it
I'm a man-man-man, man-man-man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
You know they call them killer whales
But you seem surprised when it pinned you down
To the bottom of the tank
Where you can't turn around
It took half your leg and both your lungs
When I craved I ate hearts of sharks, I know you know it
I'm a man-man-man, man-man-man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
Yes I'm a man-man-man, man-man, man-eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
It will end again in bullets fired
It will end again in bullets fired
Neko Case
Neko Richelle Case (; born September 8, 1970) is an American singer-songwriter and member of the Canadian indie rock group the New Pornographers. Case has a powerful, untrained contralto voice, which has been described by contemporaries and critics as a "flamethrower", "a powerhouse [which] seems like it might level buildings," "a 120-mph fastball," and a "vocal tornado". Critics also note her idiosyncratic, "cryptic," "imagistic" lyrics, and credit her as a significant figure in the early 21st-century American revival of the tenor guitar. Case's body of work has spanned and drawn on a range of traditions including country, folk, art rock, indie rock, and pop and is frequently described as defying or avoiding easy generic classification.
