Buy in. It'll shut you up
Try it. It should shut you up
We've brought someone in to shut you up
It's a life's work
While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky, it's stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
(choir sings with matt in this part)
And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line
Buy in. It should shut you up
Try it. It should shut you up
They've brought someone in to shut you up
And it's getting to be light work
While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
And the sky, it's stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
(choir sings)
And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line of kings
And we dance and we sing
And we're all monkeys in a long line
Long line
I'm just a boat on the ocean
And I'm just a ship lost at sea (x3)
