I still think of the monkey I saw in Koenji that day In that bizarre pet store Where all the owners smoked away He was swirling circles in its cage turning round And round all day Like a monkey whirling dervish It'd clearly gone insane Like Nietzsche with his horse I saw the monkey and I cried An apology to the helpless beasts With manking in their lives I'm sorry a sad and salty sorry Every Balthazar I'm sorry Koenji monkey I'm so sorry I'm sorry a sad and salty sorry Every Balthazar I'm sorry Koenji monkey I'm so sorry And I want you on the soft side on the soft side And I want you on the soft side on the soft side I'm sorry a sad and salty sorry Every Balthazar I'm sorry Koenji monkey I'm so sorry I'm sorry a sad and salty sorry Every Balthazar I'm sorry Koenji monkey I'm so sorry
