Monkeyland Lyrics - Live At The Gallery Club, Manchester, 1982 - The Chameleons Uk

I shake my head and shiver 

They smile and they stab my back 

As they shake my hand 

Send out an S.O.S. please 

I'm marooned in monkeyland. 

I'm idly staring at the sky 

Did anybody hear me cry 

A billion stars are a moving sight 

To all you out there reading this tonight 

It's just a trick of the light 

I have to know what is real and what is illusion 

Tell me how does it feel beyond this confusion? 

Is there anyone there? 

Do I dismiss this with a sigh? 

And let the answers pass me by? 

Is my creator God or a man? 

Does someone somewhere care and understand? 

It's just a trick of the light. 

I have to know what is real and what is illusion 

(Rest of chorus) 

Is there anyone there? 

Life's an optical illusion like other optical illusions 

Beware
