The Western Elephant

The map said "gold" — the ground said "bones"

Just a swamp where they said was a silver coast

Well, the elephant that held the western sky

And the elephant buckled — now there's no such place

Just deserts and marshes where the rivers choke

And the ghost of a mule that forgot its joke

Now the West is nothing — nothing at all

There's a giant beast that keeps the world alive

Four elephants stand — one north, one south

One east — and the west one's got a bad, bad mouth

But he held the edge with his ancient knees

Till the gold rush came like a pack of fleas

We climbed his back with our picks and greed

And we weighed him down with our every need

Felt his kneecaps crack — and he didn't cry

He just knelt down slow like a dying hill

And we all rolled off — and we're falling still

Now there's deserts and marshes where the towns should be

They say you can hear 'em falling on a quiet night

Men with gold dust in their clothes — women with their tights

No thud, no scream — just a soft goodbye

And the elephant's last breath — a western sigh

So I'm sittin' here where the salt flats start

Just a sinking feeling and a forgotten name

The swamp's got my boots, the dust got my hat

And the elephant's knees — they ain't comin' back

If you hear someone yellin' from the western ledge

Don't run toward it — that's the crumbling edge

Is a pile of bones where the buzzards fly

We ran west hard — now we run west thin

And the only thing left is the shape of a sin

Just deserts and marshes where the dreams got sold

If you chase the sun — you'll catch the fall

And the West ain't nothin' — nothin' at all

The elephant knelt — and it's way too late

And the only thing standin'... is the fallin' off
