The Monkey's Back Lyrics & Tabs by Menomena
The Monkey's Back
guitar chords lyrics
On the monkey's back
You paved the way but I lost track
Seize the day
I want my way
But the monkey's back
He grew such fingernails
He scratched he could impale
Never fails to hear why
So I fed him poison grapes
He spit the seeds into my face
And he escapes
To germinate
Weave and till my skin
Sprout seeds, chrysanthemum
Pull the weeds from my chin
Weave and till my skin
Sprout seeds, chrysanthemum
Pull the weeds from my chin
We begin
On this monkey's back
He paved the way but I lost track
Seize the day, I'm on my way
But the monkey's back
He grew such fingernails
He scratched, he could impale
Never fails to hear why
So I fed him poison grapes
He spit the seeds into my face
And he escapes
To germinate
Weave and till my skin
Sprout seeds, chrysanthemum
Pull the weeds from my chin
We begin
On the monkey's back
On the monkey's back
(unintelligible mumbled outro verse)
