Lyric discussion by Evan Gilliard 

Cover art for Elephants lyrics by Portugal. The Man

Wow all you guys are totally wrong. This song is deff. about mushrooms. Theres a few gimmics

The bags are in and we plan no stops. Are you in today? Sent the boots, the coats, the caps the colors. I found gold?gold got it got it. Slip into the mind the coats the caps the colors and the banks And then then Pears and peaches and Doctor Hippo Met for a drink in those marshmallow clouds Shout at pavement that’s sprouting up turnips Who are shouting right back, talking about the trip.

I never would've understood:

I found gold?gold got it got it? Pears and peaches and Doctor Hippo Met for a drink in those marshmallow clouds Shout at pavement that’s sprouting up turnips Who are shouting right back, “We don’t need your lectures”

without mushrooms.

i know this comment is YEARS old, but THANK YOU! somebody else gets it! it's SO obvious to me. people are trying to find hidden meanings... maybe they've just never done shrooms.
