Velvet Underground - Satellite Of Love lyrics
[the kinks]
(r. d. davies)
I think I’m sophisticated ’cause I’m living my life
Like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody’s multiplying and
They’re walking round like flies man
So I’m no better than the animals sitting
In the cages in the zoo
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman.
I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized
’cause I’m a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.
I’m an apemanI’m an apeapemanoh I’m an apeman
I’m a king kong manI’m a voodo manoh I’m an apeman
Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman.
In man’s evolution he’s created the city
And the motor traffic rumble.
But give me half a chance and I’d be taking off my clothes
And living in the jungle.
Cause the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees.
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman.
I’m an apemanI’m an apeapemanoh I’m an apeman
I’m a king kong manI’m a voodo manoh I’m an apeman
I look out the window but I can’t see the sky
The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman.
Oh come on and love mebe my apeman girl
And we’ll be so happy in my apeman world.
I’m an apemanI’m an apeapemanoh I’m an apeman
I’m a king kong manI’m a voodo manoh I’m an apeman
I’ll be your tarzanyou’ll be my jane
I’ll keep you warm and you’ll keep me sane
We’ll sit in the trees and eat bananas all dayjust like an apeman.
I’m an apemanI’m an apeapemanoh I’m an apeman
I’m a king kong manI’m a voodo manoh I’m an apeman
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.
