lyrics

MONKEY TALK
(Jackie Raven)
Chatter, chatter, monkey talk
Jumpin’ monkeys never walk
I can’t stop the thoughts running ‘round my head
Things I’ve heard, things I’ve read
Tree to tree, the monkey flies
Chasin’ phantoms, telling lies
A mind this busy just isn’t good
It never leaves it’s neighborhood
Chattering, jumpin’ like monkeys do
My mind is stuck in the “what?” and “who?”
Too busy swingin’ to even try
To make a leap to the “how?” or “why?”
Look at these monkeys: they got the nerve
They never sit still, don’t observe
That a mind this busy just isn’t good
It never leaves it’s neighborhood
Can’t stop these monkeys, they’re out of control
They don’t even listen when I scold
They’re jumpin’, they’re swingin’, they’re always fl yin’
The worst part is: I know they’re lyin’
Can’t see the forest, for the trees
I can’t get beyond the canopy
A mind this busy just isn’t good
I stay stuck with “should”, “would” and “could”
