Monkey Man

Great monkey man is going the distance
The lucky one's going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top
Oh, lucky ones always get it all

Oh, I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Gonna take what I can get
I'm the monkey man
With the great, great monkey plan

This crazy, crazy little man
You've got yourself entangled

Oh, I'd love to lie to myself
To say everything is fine now
We got to keep it up or fall behind
I got to keep it up or lose the edge we found
Drive faster
Build higher, still higher
Dig deeper down 'til it's down in the ground
It's found used up and then thrown out

Crazy, crazy little man
What do you think you're doing here?

Big beautiful world just for us
Good use we must put it to
Any way I can think to use it up
What will I tell my grandson's grandsons?

I could weave a fairy tale
Of great Bible-thumping scale
When he stands empty hands on his empty land
That's what happened here, great, great monkey man
Where did you think grey was the color of bliss?
You think I don't know quite what to say
But I'm worried for myself in this

I'm hungry
Don't wanna die like a little dog
Well, I eat what I can get
From the monkey man
Great, great monkey plan

Crazy, crazy man
You've got yourself [?] in a pickle

Crazy, crazy monkey man
Who is the one in the middle?

Take a walk
Cross the ice
Melts too quickly
For us to reach the other side
It's cold in here
But the sun shines bright out
It warms this up there
Oh, the tide is rising higher
Look, it's strange floating by
Looks just like arms that
Flow out and ride now, I will
Golden age
These golden times
Our golden days seem to have us
Hypnotized or blind, well
