Tom Verlaine
Space Monkey
Blood on the TV ten o'clock news
Souls are invaded heart in a groove
Beating and beating so out of time
What's the mad matter with the church chimes
Here comes a stranger up on Ninth Avenue
Leaning green tower indiscreet view
Over the cloud over the bridge
Sensitive muscle sensitive ridge
Of my space monkey sign of the time-time
Space monkey so out of line-line
Space monkey sort of divine
And he's mine mine all mine

Pierre Clemente. Snortin' cocaine
The sexual streets why it's all so insane
Humans are running lavender room
Hovering liquid move over moon
For my space monkey sign of the time-time
Space monkey sort of divine
Space monkey so out of line
And he's mine mine oh he's mine

Stranger comes up to him
Hands him an old rusty Polaroid
It starts crumbling in his hands
He says, oh man, I don't get the picture
This is no picture this is just this just a this just a...
Just my jack-knife just my jack-knife just my jack--
Rude excavation. Landing site
Boy hesitating jack-knife
He rips his leg open so out of time
Blood and light running
It's all like a dream
Light of my life he's dressed in flame
It's all so predestined it's all such a game
For my space monkey sign of the time-time
Space monkey sort of divine space monkey
So out of line and it's all just space just space

There he is up in a tree
Oh, I hear him calling down to me
Tat banana-shaped object ain't no banana
It's a bright yellow UFO and he's coming to get me
Here I go up up up up up up up up up
Oh, good-bye mama I'll never do dishes again
Here I go from my body
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
