Elephants and Flowers Lyrics

Artist: Prince
Album: Graffiti Bridge

Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night
he's looking 4 some action, he's looking 4 a fight
he's looking 4 a saviour in a city full of fools
maybe he just needs a good talker to give him a good talking 2.
Can we talk baby? Strip down, strip down.
I think I'm gonna fall in love tonight.

Elephants and flowers, hot sweaty light paints a picture red and gold
on a crowd of naked bodies stripped down to their very souls
how can he find a shy angel in a city so bold (so bold)
he can't even find a place 2 dance, this is rock and roll.
Strip down, strip down, elephants and flowers
Is everybody ready? Here we go.

love the one who is love, (love) the one who gives us the power, (power)
the one who made everything, (what?) elephants and flowers (what will he do?)
the one who will listen when all others will not.
there will be peace 4 those who love god a lot.

Elephants and flowers. Strip down. Think I'm gonna fall in love tonight.
When I do, there won't be no more (confusion)
There won't be no more (no tears)
there won't be no more enemies, so that eliminates all the fear
and there won't be no sorrow, (sorrow)
there won't be no pain, (no pain)
there won't be no ball and no chain
strip down, strip down. Elephants and flowers.

Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night
He's looking 4 an angel to hold him 'til the morning light
Here we go.

love the one who is love, (well) the one who gives us the power, (power)
the one who made everything, (everything) elephants and flowers (oh, yeah)
the one who will listen when all others will not. (all others will not)
there will be peace 4 those who love god a lot.
Here we go.

love the one who is love, (love) the one who gives us the power, (power)
the one who made everything, (what?) elephants and flowers (what will he do?)
the one who will listen when all others will not.
there will be peace 4 those who love god a lot.

It seems he has in my of he was an angel and god sent him to earth and ask what would he like to do here. is what the words he is singing is what he will do.

I think this song is for him his mind and angels are kinda invisible on earth. You know he probably believe is is an angel for god.

I think prince is a lyrical genious who cares if he sings about god thats great if u ask me i just wish people would stop judging him on his appearance and focus on the lyrics in his music

Also: a flower is very delicate and an elephant his powerful...and god made both.
