Space Monkey (Live) - Remastered

Blood on the TV, ten o'clock news
Souls are invaded, heart in a groove
Beatin' and muting, so outta time
What's the mad matter with the church chimes?

Here comes a stranger up on Ninth Avenue
Leanin' green tower, indiscreet view
Over the cloud, over the bridge
Sensitive muscle, sensitive ridge of my

Space monkey, moving so strange
Space monkey, move like a train
Space monkey, he opens our eyes
And he's mine, mine, all mine

Pierre Clementi, snortin' cocaine
The sexual streets, why it's all so insane?
Humans are running, lavender room
Hovering liquid, move over moon for my

Space monkey, moving so strange
Space monkey, move like a train
Space monkey, so outta line
And he's mine, mine, oh he's mine

A stranger comes up to him, hands him an old, rusty Polaroid
It starts crumbling in his hands
He says, "Oh man, I don't get the picture
This is no picture, this is just, just, just, just
This is my jack-knife, just my jack-knife
Just my jack-knife, just my jack-knife

Rude excavation, landin' site
Boy hesitatin', jack-knife
He rips his leg open, he's so out of time
Let blood and light runnin', it's all like a dream
Light of my life, he's dressed in flames
It's all so predestined, it's all such a game for my

Space monkey, moving so strange
Space monkey, move like a train
Space monkey, so out in line and it's all just space, just space

There he is, up in a tree
Oh, I hear him callin' down to me
That banana-shaped object is no banana
It's a bright, yellow UFO
And he's coming to get me, here I go

Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Oh, goodbye mama, I'll never do dishes again
Here I go from my body
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, help

Oh, I'll make it with my play in California
Oh, it doesn't matter
Usually I'm not saying anything anyway
That's why I talked to you, I gave you the word's translations first
This is just set to music
Some of them have things like
La-la-la-la-la... heart
You know, it's just transfusions
Don't worry about the words
