lyrics

Climbing down from my tree when the leader tells me to
I daydream of the Caspian Sea and scrape around the barrel
Why can't I dial nine to escape from the task
That's been engraved deep in my mind
Where I'll get out of this monkey beer run

All this time that I take going backwards and forwards
This is not my idea of fun
And I'm starting to notice it's all smoke and mirrors
Don't wait up for me 'cause I'm done
Finished up with this monkey beer run

Look around at the insect moving shelter to shelter
As they scream, "God save the queen" and sort out her apparel
I punctuate that last remark with an exclamation point
Aimed right at my heart, but I'm too smart
To get out of this monkey beer run

I'm not afraid of opening up to new things
But what new things are opened up
Among the tired and the lonely to remind us that
There's something other than what we've been given
That we're privy to attempt?
I've thought about it before
But why consider donning all the eloquent experience
Like a badge upon my sleeve in all the mediocre attempts
To be different on a level that nobody has considered
When to get there I must give up everything that I swore?

Bid goodnight to this monkey beer run
All this time that I take going backwards and forwards
This is not my idea of fun
And I'm starting to notice it's all smoke and mirrors
I'm constantly jumping the gun
