A church in front of a window 

to a world 

He don't need to see anymore 

cause he's just seen it all 

In a picture show 

In a theatre long ago 

We're watching movies 

and now we want more 

but one more tragic life 

I am not so sure 

The elephant man lives on 

Elephant men live on 



The cats were big as men 

and the girls would fly 

Back and forth across the stage 

throwing glitter 

On all those down below 

so amused with second hand rage 



We're watching movies 

and now we want more 

But one more tragic life 

I am not so sure 



The elephant man lives on 

Elephant men live on 



One is keeping another 

hidden somewhere 

Keeping him company 

Like a picture of dorian gray 

That no one's allowed to see 



The elephant man lives on 

The elephant man lives on 

Elephant men live on 

Elephant men live on
