Another Life
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.
You must think you're going to live forever
I listen to the lies as they fall from your face
You must think that you are mighty clever
Can't you find a better way to deal with this place
Watching your life die
We're all watching your life die
Your hands are wet - Your mouth is dry
You shake and sweat - You want to die
Your eyes are hot - Your skin is cold
You're so young - But you look so old
Lie in bed all day staring at the ceiling
Your friends come around
Because they wonder how you're feeling
You send them all away
Because you can't identify
They don't know you
They're not even high
So high
See the monkey's eyes.
Look deep into the monkey's eyes as he comes to you smiling.
Day after day the monkey's eyes become bigger and bigger.
Soon the monkey's eyes are all you can see.
Soon the monkey's eyes become your eyes.
You feel the monkey's bite.
Monkey see monkey do, monkey will destroy you.
If I could make wishes true
I know what I'd wish for you
Another life
Another life for you
