The Shins — Eating Styes From Elephants Eyes

[Verse 1] They want trash They want you batting a lash They'll eat styes from elephants' eyes They're in touch With their inner crutch They won't stab but they'll grab And that's just like the other [Verse 2] We get nerves And we drown them in booze We take lies from elephants' eyes We're in bed With a car eating lead It won't stop if you shop With the lovers of bloodshed [Chorus] I went to school, I saw slides Of where I'm meant to be Where I'm meant to be Where I'm meant to be [Verse 3] We read time Like a kid eating limes We're in town when bees are let out We get laughs Through an osmotic patch We're attached to the past Cause our future's a bleak one [Chorus] I went to school, I saw slides Of where I'm meant to be I'm meant to be I'm meant to be I'm meant to be I'm meant to be I'm meant to be I'm meant to be
