This song is dedicated to Joseph Merrick, more commonly known as the “Elephant Man”, and talks about the abuse he suffered and the pain he endured throughout his life. The message to him seems to be one of comfort and solidarity; as if telling him in the afterlife that he is now accepted, understood...
[Verse 1]
When you died, I heard the cries in the night

And with them build a home, home

They broke your limbs and beat in
Your swollen head 'til your neck
Shattered to pieces they put in the ground
[Chorus]
And I will take your bones
And with them build a home, home
[Bridge]
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble

Gooble gobble, gooble gobble
We accept you, we accept you, one of us
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble
We accept you, we accept you, one of us
[Chorus]
I hear your soft bones crying
I hear your soft bones crying
I hear your soft bones crying in the night
[Outro]
I am not an elephant!
I am not an animal!
I am a human being!
I am a–
