Lyrics
Monkeyland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
