Lyrics
There is a chained up elephant

Who lives just down the road

He doesn't get many places on time

Even though many times he's told.

His soul's as black as obsidian

and as sharp as obsidian's edge (the edge)

as you can tell I'm obsessed with obsidian

and the death of The Others I pledge.

Talking about George R.R. Martin

His books, they're pretty fun.

I've finished reading a Game of Thrones

and I'm on the second one.

Alternate Versions and Remixes
A remix of the song, entitled Chained Up Elephant (Ow the Edge Remix) can be found on The Slurps Remixed.
