Lyrics Filthy Apes and Lions - Mark Stoermer

Filthy Apes and Lions

Filthy apes and lions
Spilling cake and liquid icing
Crucifying all the eyelids
Illuminate the iris
And tune out all the dying
With sounds of Franz Joseph Haydn
The owls intimidate me
They’re taking all the best meat
And tearing down the drapery
Apples are foretelling
Of a super nova shelling
Leaving afterbirth of hell things
Have you ever thunk
Take a look at the monk
Holding boxes of junk
Lying behind the big screen
You’ve been in a funk
Since you stepped on the gunk
You looked like a punk
When you tried to debunk
As the animals tore out your spleen
Angry spitting llamas
Wearing reticent pajamas
Play fluorescent melodramas
Rabid dapple otters
Dealing death on rainbow waters
At the shores of plastic martyrs
Flying turtle sirens
Spy on all the perfect islands
Spraying out the purple skyrings
Filthy apes and lions
Spilling cake and liquid icing
You’re awake but don’t be frightened
Have you ever thunk
Take a look at the monk
Holding boxes of junk
Lying behind the big screen
You’ve been in a funk
Since you stepped on the gunk
You looked like a punk
When you tried to debunk
As the animals tore out your spleen
