Lyrics

Skinny Ape

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.

To the pool at least try to let it go

But nobody knows what they're dealing with here

There will be time and there will be a sign

When all the kids who have cancelled time will

Take my hand and pull me up again

Cheer me up and help me walk again (walk again)

Shoot the pool at least try to let it go

But nobody knows what they're dealing with here

I got bones, I got jaded legs

Not the type that can win a race

Living plastic on a vacant lot

Left me high and staring at a robot

Don't be sad for me

I'm a cartoon G

And my intent is to breathe in a new world

Don't be sad for me

I can balance on the highest tree

You can only see outlines of me

I can disappear, or light up your day

Imitation saint

I'm a skinny little ape

Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape)

I'm a cartoon G

And my intent is to breathe in a new world

Don't be sad for me

Don't be sad for me

I'm a cartoon G

And my intent is to breathe in a new world

Don't be sad for me

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape

Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape

Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

I'm a Skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape ape ape ape

But nobody knows what they're fooling with for me
