I Am an Ape |
In a garden |
Stands a statue |
Of the man who won the war |
His expression |
Tender yearning |
Every nation near and far |
Oh, sad and ancient father, sweet as honey, tough as leather |
Running down the hill on Christmas day |
I am an ape |
I stand and wait |
A masterpiece |
A hairy beast |
I move so fast |
I take a chance |
Come up close |
I’m not a ghost |
Navigator |
When you wake up |
And you step outside your door |
Shoes and panties |
Washed and folded |
Taking off your dirty clothes |
This garden tells a story, amber close-up, faded glory |
Running through the streets on Christmas day |
I am an ape |
I stand and wait |
A masterpiece |
A hairy beast |
Try not to laugh |
Just take a chance |
I visited |
Inside your head |
If you trespass, |
In this garden |
To a place you should not go |
If you step out |
From the shadows |
See the city fall in awe |
I am an ape |
I stand and wait |
A masterpiece |
A hairy beast |
No need to hide |
Come inside |
I will not last |
I too shall pass |
