There was a wakeup call in quarantine
|
A show of hands in a submarine
|
And the patron saint of midtown’s
|
Been playing three card all day long
|
The sky turned the color of tourmaline
|
The nurse shark brought me Atropene
|
Stone monkey crashing heavens' scene
|
He does not belong
|
And I can’t wait until the lights go out
|
I just might find out what the shouting’s all about
|
Lunch was served on the barricades
|
There was a civil suit by the chambermaids
|
As I turned a tired circle
|
In a rowboat with one oar
|
The sign is given and the runner steals
|
Achilles rocked back on his heels
|
And overhead the thunder peals
|
Stone monkey goes to war
|
And I can’t wait until the lights go out
|
I just might find out what the shouting’s all about
|
Here it comes
|
Monkey see
|
Monkey do
|
Something else 'cause he sure don’t want
|
To end up like me and you
|
Monkey time
|
Monkey shines
|
Everything is gonna work out just fine
|
There’s a hawker passing shirts around
|
There’s a tourist trap on sacred ground
|
And the four big heads are laughing down
|
As the people are detained
|
Paris burned and the critics wailed
|
The old gods were taken off to jail
|
Stone monkey rules in heavens' pale
|
Everything has changed
|
And I can’t wait until the lights go out
|
And I might just find out what the shouting’s all about
|
Monkey see
|
Monkey do
|
Something else 'cause he sure don’t want
|
To end up like me and you
|
Monkey time
|
Monkey shines
|
Everything is gonna work out just fine
|
Monkey see
|
Monkey do
|
Something else 'cause he sure don’t want
|
To end up like me and you
|
Monkey time
|
Monkey shines
|
Everything is gonna work out just fine |
