Jonathan Fire Eater These Little Monkeys
It's you and me down here on the floor of your mother's
room
I played a tune from her old bassoon
And if you pull up your dress
We'll make children that cry every time it rains
And scream at the sound of passing trains
Ah these little monkeys are crawling around
These little monkeys are breeding again
These little monkeys are crawling around
These little monkeys are breeding again
And it started off the way a monkey behaves
When you take him from the moonlit sugar cane
Oh the patterns and ways that flood his brain
When he finger-paints a world so beautifully strange
Take it to the rooftop all alone
The world is closing from up above
It's a whole new place I've never been before
?????????????
In an afternoon bath oh a friend bit me
The pain on the cheek will make a good memory
Venetian blinds they are easy on the eye
A panic attack oh your eyes go wild
With my hands in my lap like two dead birds
Night after night oh how my chirps go unheard
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
Alone in the room I never knew it was a sin
These little monkeys are crawling around
These little monkeys are breeding again
These little monkeys are crawling around
These little monkeys are breeding again
