Evolution Lyrics - Singles - Clockwork Monkey

Cocoa beans, flat screens, 

Things that go BANG! 

A thousand singers 

Neatly in the palm of my hand. 

All-wheel, "No deal!" 

Electric 'n' gas. 

The rain comes down 

And then it drips from a tap. 

All gather around 

The vowels and the nouns 

The lights and the noise 

All the girls, all the boys 

Descended from the apes 

Wound-up to become 

Clockwork Monkeys, 

Each his own little drum, 

With a head full of wishes, 

A mouth full of kisses 

Bright bright spark, out... 

Sweet stuff cool stuff 

Things that go fast 

Get it real quick 

Coz it's never gonna last. 

It's a good feel, feel good 

Keeping my eyes 

One forever forward 

And the other behind. 

Your dreams are recurring 

That hand that keeps stirring you 

Moving, arousing you 

Turning you, wearing you 

Down from the apes 

Wound-up to become 

Clockwork Monkeys, 

Each his own little drum, 

With a head full of wishes, 

And a mouth full of kisses 

See none, hear none, 

Speak none too, 

But it's underneath the nails 

And it sticks to the shoes. 

Sit down, stand up, 

Learn to say "please", 

When you're old enough to perish 

Then we'll give you the keys. 

Your dreams are beautiful 

Your rhythm impeccable 

Marching the hollow men 

Into the straw 

Descended from the apes 

Wound-up to become 

Clockwork Monkeys, 

Clanging on their drums, 

With head full of wishes, 

Wishes full of heading 

Down from the apes 

Wound-up to become 

Clockwork Monkeys, 

Clinging to their drums, 

With head full of wishes, 

Wishing and wishing...
