作词 : Maxwell | |
This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track | |
This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track | |
Not what I heard or saw on | |
TV, But what | |
I witnessed entirely | |
Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track | |
Once upon a time we thought we were free | |
And had control over destiny | |
We saw ourselves a competent band | |
Able to reason, prosper and plan | |
But we had a chamber up in the moon | |
Circumstance made us change our tune | |
When the veil was torn from our face | |
We became the monkeys riding the race | |
MONKEY! You think you got the stuff it takes to break away! | |
Boy youll be on the track every day | |
Talent, vigor,drive | |
Youll eat peanut butter the rest of your life | |
And these last things you can arrange | |
Find other people equally strange | |
Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line | |
I said: Chris | |
P. rides on a serious plan | |
Hes going to finish as fast as he can | |
The Escalator takes it personally | |
And does not drive professionally | |
Charming Enchantress and | |
Bones can run | |
Even if the winshield wipers are on | |
I the Broadcaster avoid police | |
But the Bat was led into custody |
