Trou Macacq Lyrics - Squirrel Nut Zippers

This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track 

This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track 

Not what I heard or saw on TV, 

But what I witnessed entirely 

Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track 

Once upon a time we thought we were free 

And had control over destiny 

We saw ourselves a competent band 

Able to reason, prosper and plan 

But we had a chamber up in the moon 

Circumstance made us change our tune 

When the veil was torn from our face 

We became the monkeys riding the race 

MONKEY! 

You think you got the stuff it takes to break away! 

Boy youll be on the track every day 

Talent, vigor, drive 

Youll eat peanut butter the rest of your life 

And these last things you can arrange 

Find other people equally strange 

Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line 

I said: Chris P. rides on a serious plan 

Hes going to finish as fast as he can 

The Escalator takes it personally 

And does not drive professionally 

Charming Enchantress and Bones can run 

Even if the winshield wipers are on 

I the Broadcaster avoid police 

But the Bat was led into custody
