Gratitude by Danny Elfman Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
Life's been so good to me
Has it been good to you
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be
[Post-Chorus 1]
Now is that gratitude (Ooooh)
Now is that gratitude
[Verse 2]
Now is that gratitude
Or is it really love
Some kind of reality
That fits just like a glove
Now is that gratitude
For everything I've done
Or is it something else
That's got me on the run
[Chorus 1]
In the middle of a big tornado
On the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale
All the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbor
In a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator
In the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution
In the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table
In the stillness of disgrace
[Post-Chorus 2]
Now is that gratitude (I used to eat people like you for breakfast)
Now is that gratitude (I used to fly high up in the sky)
Now is that gratitude (I used to chew up rocks and spit out gravel)
Now is that gratitude (I had a heart as cold as ice)
[Verse 3]
But when I think of you
And what you've done to me
You took away my hope
You took away my fantasy
I once had lots of pride
The world was in my hands
I lived way at the top
Of castles made of sand
[Bridge]
Ooh
I dream of you sometimes
Ooh
I dream of you sometimes
[Chorus 2]
In the middle of a big tornado (In the middle of a big tornado)
On the tip of everyone's tongue (On the tip of everyone's tongue)
In the belly of a giant whale (In the belly of a giant whale)
All the girls just wanna have fun (All the girls just wanna have fun)
In the look of a frightened neighbor (In the look of a frightened neighbor)
In a big warm bed at night (In a big warm bed at night)
In a broken elevator (In a broken elevator)
In the teeth of a dog that bites (In the teeth of a dog that bites)
In the middle of a revolution (In the middle of a revolution)
In the look of a child's face (In the look of a child's face)
In the silence of the dinner table (In the silence)
In the stillness of disgrace
[Post-Chorus 2]
Now is that gratitude (Ooooh)
Now is that gratitude
Now is that gratitude (Ooooh)
Now is that gratitude
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Life's been so good to me
Has it been good to you
Has it been everything
That you expected it to be
Was it as good for you
As it was good for me
And was it everything
That it was all set up to be
[Chorus 3]
In the middle of a big tornado (In the middle of a big tornado)
On the tip of everyone's tongue (On the tip of everyone's tongue)
In the belly of a giant whale (In the belly of a giant whale)
All the girls just wanna have fun (All the girls just wanna have fun)
In the look of a frightened neighbor (In the look of a frightened neighbor)
In a big warm bed at night (In a big warm bed at night)
In a broken elevator (In a broken elevator)
In the teeth of a dog that bites (In the teeth of a dog that bites)
In the middle of a revolution (In the middle of a revolution)
In the look of a child's face (In the look of a child's face)
In the silence of the dinner table (In the silence)
In the stillness of disgrace
[Chorus 4]
In the middle of a big tornado (Ooh)
On the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale (I dream of you sometimes)
All the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbor (Ooh)
In a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator (I dream of you sometimes)
In the teeth of a dog that bites
[Outro]
Ooh
I dream of you sometimes
Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
