Lyrics

[00:17.19] We are just the monkeys who fell out of the trees
[00:20.90] We are blisters on the earth
[00:25.40] And we are not the flowers,
[00:27.16] we're the strangling weeds in the meadow
[00:30.30]
[00:33.40] And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves
[00:37.04] When we don't want to live alone
[00:41.50] So step into the vacuum,
[00:43.61] tear off your clothes and be born again
[00:47.14]
[00:49.92] Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone
[00:53.80] Just animal reflexes no one looking on
[00:58.05] Forget about fashion, forget about the law
[01:02.24] Pretend that you're alone now
[01:04.59]
[01:06.39] I wonder what I'd do
[01:07.92] if I could wake up every morning with a clean slate
[01:14.56] I'd burn through the cities
[01:16.38] and tear through the towns
[01:18.51] coz there's no deals to make
[01:20.27]
[01:22.70] So break out of the cages,
[01:25.08] the delicate structures we cling to all our lives
[01:31.26] Because we are just the monkeys
[01:33.26] who fell out of the trees
[01:34.69] When we were trying to fly
[01:36.72]
[01:39.15] Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone
[01:43.17] Just primal desire, no right and no wrong
[01:47.27] Forget about the future, forget about blame
[01:51.32] Pretend that you're alone now
[01:53.59]
[01:55.72] Pretend that you're alone now
[01:57.35]
[02:07.88] She's not waiting for tomorrow
[02:15.99] And she has no love in her eyes
[02:22.19]
[02:24.31] Oh no, I want to come down right now
[02:32.33] Pull over, I want to get out right now
[02:40.24]
[02:46.97] Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone
[02:50.86] Just animal reflexes no one looking on
[02:54.97] Forget about religion, forget about shame
[02:59.05] Pretend that you're alone now
[03:03.16] No numbers in your phone now there's nothing going on
[03:07.20] Just primal desire, no right and no wrong
[03:11.33] Forget about fashion, forget about fame
[03:15.48] Pretend that you're alone now
[03:18.01]
[03:19.62] Pretend that you're alone now
[03:21.97]
[03:47.19]
