Yellow Ostrich were an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The band began in 2009 as the solo project of Alex Schaaf, who moved from Wisconsin to New York to pursue a career in music and recorded on a four-track recorder. His first release was a self-titled nine-track album in March 2009; followed by an EP, Carousels, in May of that same year. The second album under the Yellow Ostrich name, entitled Wild Comfort, was released in January of 2010.

ELEPHANT KING YELLOW OSTRICH
INTRO: A
VERSE: A I am the elephant king, the one and only AF#mA I am the blood of the lamb, I am the holyyyyyyyyyy A I am the teller of tales, I am a story DAEA I am and the elephant king but I am lonely.
VERSE: A I am the prophet's confession on his deathbed F#mA I am the soil of the earth, I am the purebreeeeeed
I am the listener hearing all that's unsaid DA I am the magazines hiding under your bed
BREAK: EF#mDA And you can't take my kingdom away from me.
VERSE: A I am the elephant king, the one and only
I am the voice of the song, I am the lowly
I am the chosen protector of the dreary DA I am the elephant king but I am lonely
VERSE: A So take my jewels and gems, take all that shines bright
Take all the signs of my power away from my sight
I will go to a land of constant daylight D I will talk to myself 'til I am alright A I will talk to myself 'til I am alright
BREAK: EF#mDA Take good care, I'll be back sooner than you think EF#mDA You can't take my kingdom away from me
