The Great Apes

LETRA

The Great Apes

She's a box car
Rolling by
Like a black star
In the sky

She's a failure
Once or twice
Like a trailer
Spinning out upon dizzy ice

Flowers fly
When we grow old
Snakes get high
Or so I'm told

She's an eagle
Out on the road
Like my favorite
Beatle everyone
Bought and sold

All my love and half my kisses
Superstar go do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free

Come on now you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free

She's a rain bird
On the prowl
Like an urge to be yourself
That you won't allow

She's a forest
That we burned
Just a blueprint for a life
That we never learned

Flowers fly
When we grow old
Snakes get high
Or so I'm told

She's a lynch mob
On the street
Take another step
And I will kill the beat

All my love and half my kisses
Superstar go do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free

Come on now you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free

She's a bus stop
Glockenspiel
She's a simulation life
That you thought was real

She's an image
That we blurred
It's a pixelated panther
Now let it purr

All my love and half my kisses
Superstar go do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free

Come on now you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free

I just want the great apes to be free
I just want the great apes to be free
