Monkey Brain


Once again all the names never match
Reach for the phone, it's an itch I can't scratch
In my monkey brain all thoughts collide
But there's always a problem that I can't define

So where was I?
When the ceiling started to cave

I'll honour your memory
Well I'd call but I'm just too afraid
My monkey brain, monkey brain, monkey brain

Now your memory runs through the halls
It fills up the spaces and some cracks in the walls
To my good friend I lie here ashamed
Convinced that I've cheated but lost all the same

So where was I?
When the ceiling started to cave

I'll honour your memory
Well I'd call but I'm just too afraid
My monkey brain, monkey brain, monkey brain

I promise to read all the headlines
I'll never skip mentions of names
I'll listen for each misplaced accent
Though nothing's repeated the same

I'll never be myself again, I'll never be myself again
I'll never be myself again, I'll never be myself again

Monkey brain, monkey brain, monkey brain
Monkey brain, monkey brain yeah
