Stone Monkey - Danny Vaughn

There was a wakeup call in quarantine

A show of hands in a submarine

And the patron saint of midtown’s

Been playing three card all day long

The sky turned the color of tourmaline

The nurse shark brought me Atropene

Stone monkey crashing heavens' scene

He does not belong

And I can’t wait until the lights go out

I just might find out what the shouting’s all about

Lunch was served on the barricades

There was a civil suit by the chambermaids

As I turned a tired circle

In a rowboat with one oar

The sign is given and the runner steals

Achilles rocked back on his heels

And overhead the thunder peals

Stone monkey goes to war

And I can’t wait until the lights go out

I just might find out what the shouting’s all about

Here it comes

Monkey see

Monkey do

Something else 'cause he sure don’t want

To end up like me and you

Monkey time

Monkey shines

Everything is gonna work out just fine

There’s a hawker passing shirts around

There’s a tourist trap on sacred ground

And the four big heads are laughing down

As the people are detained

Paris burned and the critics wailed

The old gods were taken off to jail

Stone monkey rules in heavens' pale

Everything has changed

And I can’t wait until the lights go out

And I might just find out what the shouting’s all about

Monkey see

Monkey do

Something else 'cause he sure don’t want

To end up like me and you

Monkey time

Monkey shines

Everything is gonna work out just fine

Monkey see

Monkey do

Something else 'cause he sure don’t want

To end up like me and you

Monkey time

Monkey shines

Everything is gonna work out just fine
