-Space Monkey-

"

Space monkey in the place to be,
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound,
Shooting the moon*, playing dominoes in drag,
An increase in population of a hundred percent.

"

Space monkey in the place to be,
With a chemical peel and a picture of Mary,
Out on a limb¹ in the carnival of me,
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees.

"

We're sown together, she's born mesmer,
Beside astride her, I die inside her,²

"

Space monkey in the place to be,
A mass of contradictions in a golden frame,
Raising the roof in a calamity way,
Completely meretricious of a poke in the eye.³

Space monkey in the place to be,
Talk of the town⁴, with a Colombian rock,
Out on a limb in the carnival of me,
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees.

"

We're sown together, she's born mesmer,
Beside astride her, I die inside her,
It's far too sacred, don't ever fake it,
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down,

Like you let me down before,

Space monkey in the place to be,
With some free-association and a hole in her¹ head,
Out on a limb in the carnival of me,
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees.

"

We're sown together, she's born mesmer,
Beside astride her, I die inside her,
It's far too sacred, don't ever fake it,
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down,

Like you let me down before,
