“I really had fun writing these lyrics with Patawawa and had that story in mind from the beginning of the track (I actually started the song with that main vocal hook in mind).

Sun's off, she won't budge
Down the jungle on her knees
We'll go, to where we know
Tame the wine drops stumble down the hills
You got to close your eyes and let them fly, you got to
Drink your tears and sing your fears
Listen to the rumble over rain
And as the flames burned down
We ran ourselves to hide and heard the words they cried
Hey-he-e-ey, don't you run don't you move until they see
Hey-he-hey, we're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
Sun's off, a child asleep
Swings the ashes to the sea
Will they remember me as the creatures live on peacefully?
You got to close your eyes and let them fly, you got to
Drink your tears and sing your fears
Listen to the rumble over pain
And as the flames burned down
We looked the other side and heard the way they lied
Hey-he-e-ey, don't you run don't you move until they see
Hey-he-hey, we're made of dust and ivory
Hey-he-e-ey, don't you run don't you move until they see
Hey-he-hey, we're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
We're made of dust and ivory
