Byrne David Monkey Man Lyrics

Monkey Man Lyrics

Back from the war

 Covered in red, white and blue

 So here I am

 But I got nowhere to go

 

 Heaven help you now

 Heaven help you now

 

 Monkey man

 This is not Garden of Eden

 Take a look

 Who will eat and who gets eaten?

 

 Saturday night

 I'm gettin' outa my head

 Who's laughin' now

 You should be runnin' my friend

 

 Heaven help us now

 Heaven help us now

 

 Monkey man

 D.N.A. and evolution

 Slide on down

 Say goodbye civilization

 

 A hundred miles an hour in my mind

 And there you go

 Outa control into the promised land

 And down we go

 

 Monkey man

 Are we just some weird mutation?

 Oh, my mind!

 Lead me not into temptation

 

 Like a snake

 I will strike without a warnin'

 Holy cow

 Someone pinch me, am I dreamin'?

 

 Monkey man

 Let's get back to where we started

 Slide on down

 Evolution's goin' backwards
