Unextraordinary Gentlemen Elephant Head lyrics

Captain Nobody he saw the elephant
He tried to snuff it but candles like that stay lit
Up goes the looking glass
Look out world the future passes
Alibis won't save us now
Nobody listens
Nobody cares
Happened all too quickly
Happened all too fast
He cried out when she fell across the frightened creature's path
In order to control his grief and make a plea at sanity
There is no word as accident in his vocabulary

“Atlantica” is under fire

Captain Nobody has vengeance on his widowed brain
He turned his tide of panic
Nobody looks away
Up comes his ire and bile
Nobody hides away
Down where the tears surround him
Nobody stakes his claim
Happened all too quickly
Happened all too fast
He cried out when she fell across the charging monster's path
In order to avenge his love and for his child never born
His wishing well is deep and red with iron clad and hammerhead
Captain Nobody he fought the elementals
He tried to snuff us out but candles like us work it out
Down goes the serpentine

Look below the Captain has gone
Memories won't save him now
Memories cannot save him at all

Look out world

Captain Nobody he saw the elephant
He tried to snuff it out but candles like that stay lit
Up goes the looking glass
Look out world the future passes
Alibis won't save us now
Nobody listens
Nobody cares
Happened all too quickly
Happened all too fast
He cried out when she fell across the charging monster's path
In order to avenge his love and for his child never born
His wishing well is deep and red with iron clad and hammerhead
Happened all too quickly
Happened all too fast
He cried out when she fell across the line of their defense
In order to control his grief and make a claw at sanity
There is no word as accident
There is no word as accident

“Atlantica” is under fire
Her beauty fell now from hell he chips away
