Monkey Man Lyrics - David Byrne

Back from the war 

Covered in red, white and blue 

So here I am 

But I got nowhere to go 

Heaven help you now 

Heaven help you now 

Monkey man 

This is not Garden of Eden 

Take a look 

Who will eat and who gets eaten? 

Saturday night 

I'm gettin' outa my head 

Who's laughin' now 

You should be runnin' my friend

Heaven help us now 

Heaven help us now 

Monkey man 

D.N.A. and evolution 

Slide on down 

Say goodbye civilization 

A hundred miles an hour in my mind 

And there you go 

Outa control into the promised land 

And down we go 

Monkey man 

Are we just some weird mutation? 

Oh, my mind! 

Lead me not into temptation 

Like a snake 

I will strike without a warnin' 

Holy cow 

Someone pinch me, am I dreamin'?

Monkey man 

Let's get back to where we started 

Slide on down 

Evolution's goin' backwards
