America - Green Monkey lyrics

When the deep blue night is running close on your track<br>And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back<br>Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel<br>Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel<br><br>Smell the perfume of the silent dream<br>Fly the ocean, read a story to me<br>Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree<br>Speak to me<br><br>So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky<br>Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie<br>Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy<br>Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die<br><br>Smell the perfume of the silent dream<br>Fly the ocean, read a story to me<br>Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree<br>Speak to me<br><br>Smell the perfume of the silent dream<br>Fly the ocean, read a story to me<br>Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree<br>Speak to me
