Green Monkey

When the deep blue night is running close on your track And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel [Chorus] Smell the perfume of the silent dream Fly the ocean, read a story to me Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree Speak to me So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die [Chorus: x2] --- Green Monkey - America
