Monkey On A String
Thought that it would get tired but it only just begun
Now I'm annoyed with the species as it’s jumpin branch to branch
Or throw a little fieces, or do a little dance
And my mind isn’t steady it’s spinning like a top
Got tangents and they vanish into English or to Spanish
And it never feels finished
I can almost touch the Grail
They monkeys in a circle and he’s swallowin his tail
He’s got his buddy’s in a barrel and their arms are locked
I try to get one but only get the whole lot
I see the claws and the fangs and the riots on the way
Lord what i wouldn’t give to get quiet for a day
Devouring itself but it can’t feel the sting
And the thoughts keep on turnin till i think i thought of everything
Got to keep your monkey on a string
Meditate to make that Primate sing!
