Will I ever know why? And all that I can hear is the elephant seals cry and they go… “Anyone you trap in a tower will betray you” “Everything you build on the shore will be swallowed” Newspaper 1974 Revolutionaries came and knocked down her door They held her captive while she slept on the floor But none of that matters when you’re questioning your ethics And then came 1975 It turned out she was well and alive Semi-automatic strapped to her thigh She said “up against the wall” She was working for the other side And “you motherfuckers, you don’t know anything But me, I can’t forget the way the elephant seals scream” and they go… “Better be careful what you toss in the wishing well” “Anyone you trap in a tower will betray you” “Everything you build on the shore will be swallowed” #Slothrust
