The white hunter sits on his porch With his elephant gun and his tears He'll shoot you for free If you come around here A protestor kneels on the neck of a statue The statue says I can't breathe The protestor says now you know how it feels And he kicks it into the sea And I'm a Botticelli Venus with a penis Riding an enormous scalloped fan I'm a sea foam woman rising from the spray Yeah, I'm coming to do you harm With the gun in my pants full of elephant tears And a seahorse on each arm With my elephant gun of tears I'll shoot you all for free If you even think about coming 'round here I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'm an ice sculpture melting in the sun I'm an ice sculpture with an elephant gun I'm an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears Raining gas and salt upon your heads The president has called in the Feds I've been planning this for years I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'll shoot you just for fun I'm a statue lying on my side, in the sun With the memory of an elephant Evaporating before your eyes And becoming a great grey cloud of wrath Roaring my salt upon the earth I will shoot you all for free If you so much as look at me A time is coming The time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky Don't ask who Don't ask why There's a kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming The time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming The time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home In a while (The kingdom in the sky)
