Something’s there in the fire escape
It’s not working anymore
Something’s on my mind
Never there before
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me
Down the streets and alley ways
Now they’re hiding in the fog
Something’s on my mind
Now it’s getting dark
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Ah ah
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Ah ah
Nothing can stop the elephants
Something’s there in the fire escape (fire escape)
It’s not working anymore
Something’s on my mind
Never there before
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me [x2]
It’s not working anymore
Something’s on my mind
Never there before
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me
Down the streets and alley ways
Now they’re hiding in the fog
Something’s on my mind
Now it’s getting dark
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Ah ah
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Ah ah
Nothing can stop the elephants
Something’s there in the fire escape (fire escape)
It’s not working anymore
Something’s on my mind
Never there before
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me [x2]
When the "end of the world" comes, first there will be persecution and subjugation, enforced by imprisonment, torture and execution. The military squadrons, all dressed alike in drab grays or browns and wearing gas masks with exhale tubing connected to purification canisters, (like the cover photo on Street Level) will break into people's homes and take them away. Individuals will be constantly spied upon to see if they betray the secret of their faith. The drab solid shades of military and law enforcement, heavily padded and wearing bullet proof vests and gas masks with long tubing make them even more intimidating than the weapons they carry, and to children they resemble big, brutish elephants.
