When elephants dance over the bed of roses
And the dance has been wild and excited
-it's fair to say I'm scared
That the flower bed was probably misplaced
Like a rose in the bosom, Fatumeh
Like a needle in the arm, Fatumeh
When roses start dancing, the devil is loose
For he likes to praise roses
And he spurs you so merrily on to greatness, my bitch!
Yes, you incite each other, both of you !
Like a blues in the evening Fatumeh
Like a night in the cell, Fatumeh
What were you doing in these quarters?
Yes, you can actually wonder, my love
Now you can never rest on clover fields again
And never again make love in the green
It was wrong planning, Fatumeh
Like an overdose, Fatumeh
I remember when you were little - you were so sweet and kind,
Now you think mostly about the heroin< br/>Among dancing elephants you are a trifle
Think about it. And then wipe away the grin!
Like when Kreuger screwed up, Fatumeh
Like when Grandma screwed up, Fatumeh
So now take your roses and put them in a pit
Or let them fly away through your grate
Or let the elephants crush them all
While the night relentlessly falls?
As a thirty ton truck, Fatumeh
As a last sigh, Fatumeh
