Monkeys

Breathe in breathe out so deep, I've lost myself in
Counting my breath as it passes by, and I'm
Trying to find a second of blissful
Silence in my mind

Breathe in breathe out so deep, I've lost myself in
Counting my thoughts as they come and go, oh there's
Hundreds of words floating in my brain
And I can't help but go with the flow

I do my daily meditation
Did you do your daily meditation?
I do my daily meditation
It's a magical way of mental medication
I do my daily meditation
Did you do your daily meditation?
I do my daily meditation
Breathe in breathe out

Picture
A lusty jungle
With trees as high as they can almost reach the stars
Filled with moist and wonder
Snakes and vines are slowly weaving on the ground
Sometimes green smoke rises
Loads the humid air with playfulness and fun
In the middle
Of this jungle
There's a fire flamin' up
With the morning sun

I do my daily meditation
Did you do your daily meditation?
I do my daily meditation
It's a magical way of mental medication
I do my daily meditation
Did you do your daily meditation?
I do my daily meditation
Breathe in breathe out

Up high
On the branches
A thousand pairs of eyes awaken from their dreams
Monkeys
Swarm the forest
Dancing by the fire, shakin' all the trees
My mind
Starts to wander
As the creatures pull me deep inside my thoughts
As I breathe in
And I breathe out
They are swingin' on my nerves

Can you hear
The monkeys coming
Can you hear
Their shrieking sound
Can you hear
The monkeys dancing
Footsteps stomping all around
Can you hear
The monkeys coming
Can you hear
Their shrieking sound
Can you hear
The monkeys dancing
Swamping my brain day and night

It's so hard to
Find your inner peace
When your mind is a thousand hungry monkeys
Your mind is a thousand hungry monkeys
It's so hard to
Get yourself at ease
When your mind is a thousand hungry monkeys
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
