David Byrne
Monkey Man
[Verse 1]
Back from the war
Covered in red, white and blue
So here I am
But I got nowhere to go

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven help you now
Heaven help you now

[Chorus]
Monkey man
This is not Garden of Eden
Take a look
Who will eat and who gets eaten?

[Verse 2]
Saturday night
I'm gettin' outa my head
Who's laughin' now
You should be runnin' my friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven help us now
Heaven help us now
[Chorus]
Monkey man
D.N.A. and evolution
Slide on down
Say goodbye civilization

[Bridge]
A hundred miles an hour in my mind
And there you go
Outta control into the promised land
And down we go

[Chorus]
Monkey man
Are we just some weird mutation?
Oh, my mind!
Lead me not into temptation

[Chorus]
Like a snake
I will strike without a warnin'
Holy cow
Someone pinch me, am I dreamin'?

[Chorus]
Monkey man
Let's get back to where we started
Slide on down
Evolution's goin' backwards
