David Byrne - Monkey Man lyrics

Back from the war

Covered in redwhite 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

I'm gettin' outa my head

Who's 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?

Ohmy mind!

Lead me not into temptation

Like a snake

I will strike without a warnin'

Holy cow

Someone pinch meam I dreamin'?

Monkey man

Let's get back to where we started

Slide on down

Evolution's goin' backwards
