| There was a wakeup call in quarantine
|
| A show of hands in a submarine
|
| And the patron saint of midtown’s
|
| Been playing three card all day long
|
| The sky turned the color of tourmaline
|
| The nurse shark brought me Atropene
|
| Stone monkey crashing heavens' scene
|
| He does not belong
|
| And I can’t wait until the lights go out
|
| I just might find out what the shouting’s all about
|
| Lunch was served on the barricades
|
| There was a civil suit by the chambermaids
|
| As I turned a tired circle
|
| In a rowboat with one oar
|
| The sign is given and the runner steals
|
| Achilles rocked back on his heels
|
| And overhead the thunder peals
|
| Stone monkey goes to war
|
| And I can’t wait until the lights go out
|
| I just might find out what the shouting’s all about
|
| Here it comes
|
| Monkey see
|
| Monkey do
|
| Something else 'cause he sure don’t want
|
| To end up like me and you
|
| Monkey time
|
| Monkey shines
|
| Everything is gonna work out just fine
|
| There’s a hawker passing shirts around
|
| There’s a tourist trap on sacred ground
|
| And the four big heads are laughing down
|
| As the people are detained
|
| Paris burned and the critics wailed
|
| The old gods were taken off to jail
|
| Stone monkey rules in heavens' pale
|
| Everything has changed
|
| And I can’t wait until the lights go out
|
| And I might just find out what the shouting’s all about
|
| Monkey see
|
| Monkey do
|
| Something else 'cause he sure don’t want
|
| To end up like me and you
|
| Monkey time
|
| Monkey shines
|
| Everything is gonna work out just fine
|
| Monkey see
|
| Monkey do
|
| Something else 'cause he sure don’t want
|
| To end up like me and you
|
| Monkey time
|
| Monkey shines
|
| Everything is gonna work out just fine |
