The Monkey Song

Howl at each other, bark your debate
Move about suddenly, are you running late?
Be swift so you don't come tumbling down
I can easily see
You're in good company
Feels like, a comfortable ride

Hang on a branch and pick your hair
Laugh at the sky, laugh at the sky
You give a vegetable stare like I'm not really there
Laugh at the sky

Floating feathers and blowing leaves
What do you dream of up in the trees?

But what do you make? What do you achieve?
To be well fed, is that all that you need?
Stop laughing at me, stop laughing at me
You hesitate to touch the ground
Afraid that I'll carry you into town
Even though your room is steadily shrinking

Hang on a branch and pick your hair
Laugh at the sky, laugh at the sky
You give a vegetable stare like I'm not really there
Laugh at the sky, laugh at the sky

Floating feathers and blowing leaves
I see you and you see me
How would I like it up in the trees
How would I be
