STRANGER IN THE JUNGLE
We were the first
We had the souls to laugh and cry
We had the power
Power to stretch our minds, but...
Don't turn around
Life is on the wheel and they're whirling thru the trees
And we fell into the weeds where the lovers disappeared
And their traps hid beneath the leaves
With our notebooks and our beads floating random on the breeze
And the pine scented air began to sting
Don't walk in the path of the stranger
Don't walk in the path of the stranger
In the jungle
In the jungle
We were the last
We were the only ones to see
The gathering mass beginning to organise
No turning back now
Running from out tripod world we uttered tiny screams
Oh don't go to the jungle where the animals are waiting for you
Don't look in the faces of the new breed they're coming for you
Don't look in the eye
Don't look in the eye of the stranger
Don't look in their eyes
Didn't you know that there's danger
In the jungle
In the jungle
It isn't my world, it isn't my deal
It isn't any place I've been
It isn't my world, it isn't my scene
But still they brought me to my knees
In the jungle
In the jungle
In the jungle (stranger)
In the jungle (stranger)
In the jungle
It isn't our world, it is an ideal
It isn't my world, it isn't my deal
It isn't our world, it is an idea
It isn't my, my, my
In the jungle
MONKEY ON THE STAIRS
Last night I dreamed about you
Frail white semblance in my head
We were frightened to the core
They were standing 10 feet tall
Oh
Oh oh
Like all the subtle things
Like all the time we wished away
Believe me when I say it's so
Have faith in flowers they say grow
Monkey
Monkey
Let it roll
Let it roll
Like some angel-wolf intent, like the model clay you bent
I find it stimulating like curls of hair caressing
Like the monkey on the stairs
Waiting for mans demise
Poised and ready to strike
This sculptured rose this tutored cry
Monkey
Monkey
Let it roll
Let it roll
There is so much I have no part of
There are no simple elucidations
It's not some movie
It's not that kind of love
It's not that vain love
It's a...
Oh it's just a...
Monkey
Let it roll
Monkey
Monkey
Let it roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Monkey
Monkey
Monkey
….AND THE HYENA LAUGHS AGAIN
I remember the day
The day that I first heard
A casual acquaintance passing thru
From trembling lips and paranoid eyes
Our days they were numbered 1 to 5
Nothing could be the same again
Nothing could be the same, my friend
Nothing could be the same again
And the hyena laughs again
So I pushed thru the crowd to where the stage was lit
Hawkers selling cheap wine, French cigarettes
They turned out all the lights
We tumbled to the ground
We took our chances, now there are no more
It could never be the same
Never be the same again
It could never be the same
And the hyena laughs again
WHAT DO WE DO WITHOUT T.V
What do we do without t.v
What do we do without satellite
What do we do
What do we do without shelter
What do we do without electric city
What do we do
What do we say when we're hungry
Who do we turn to when things get scary
What do we say
What do we do without money
What do we do without bank card fast car
What do we do
What do we do without t.v
LOOSE AND WILD
Power falls to those who wait
The centuries roll by and now it's time
Oh oh
The creature men will make you pay
Blood is pumping thru their veins
Oh oh
Cry and cry oh how we cry
Now we're loose and now we're wild
Oh oh
Hi-flying, whispering lies
Hung up, strung out, mesmerized
Oh no
Human, statuesque and golden
Take a bow the show is over
HUMAN PETS
And we wanna dance
Can you make us laugh
Can you jump so high
Can you move at all
And you wanna sing
Like you used to sing
But no'one can hear
So you'll just give in
Oh but we could never live this way
Ha
