Artist: Menomena
Song: The Monkey's Back

Oh the monkey’s back
He paved the way
But I lost track
He seized the day
I'm on my way
But the monkey’s back
Grew such
gruesome finger nails
He could scratch he could impale
Never fails
T-r-y

So I fed him poisoned grapes
He spit the seeds into my face
And he escapes
They germinate
Weave into my skin
Sprout the seeds crossanthumum
Oh the weeds from my chin
And we begin

Oh this monkey’s back
He paved the way
But I lost track
Seize the day
I’m on my way
But the monkey’s back
Grew such finger nails
He scratch he could impale
Never fails
T-r-y

So I fed him poisoned grapes
He spits the seeds into my face
He escapes (they germinate)
So weave into my skin
Try the seeds crossanthumum
Oh the weeds from my chin
Weave again

Well the monkey’s back
Oh the monkey’s back
Oh the monkey’s back
Oh the monkey’s back
Oh the monkey…
Oh the monkey’s back
