Monkeyland

I shake my head and shiver

They smile

And then stab my back as they shake my hand

Send out an sos plea

Come quickly

I'm marooned in Monkeyland

Is there anyone there

Who understands me

Anyone at all

I'm idly staring at the sky

Did anybody hear me sigh

A million stars are a moving sight

To all you out there

Reading this tonight

It's just a trick of the light

I have to know what is real

And what is illusion

Tell me how does it feel

Beyond this confusion

Is there anyone there

Do I dismiss this with a sigh

Suppose I must from time to time

And let the answers pass me by

To questions set to bend the mind

Is my creator a God or a man

Does someone somewhere

Care or understand

It's just a trick of the light

I have to know what is real

And what is illusion

Tell me how does it feel

Beyond this confusion

Is there anyone there

Life's an optical illusion

Like other optical illusions

Beware

If there's anyone there
