Monkey Man — текст песни (David Byrne)

Back from the war

Covered in red, white and blue

So here I am

But I got nowhere to go



Heaven help you now

Heaven help you now



Monkey man

This is not garden of eden

Take a look

Who will eat and who gets eaten?



Saturday night

Im gettin outa my head

Whos laughin now

You should be runnin my friend



Heaven help us now

Heaven help us now



Monkey man

D.n.a. and evolution

Slide on down

Say goodbye civilization



A hundred miles an hour in my mind

And there you go

Outa control into the promised land

And down we go



Monkey man

Are we just some weird mutation?

Oh, my mind!

Lead me not into temptation



Like a snake

I will strike without a warnin

Holy cow

Someone pinch me, am I dreamin?



Monkey man

Lets get back to where we started

Slide on down

Evolutions goin backwards
