David Byrne & St. Vincent - I Am An Ape Lyrics
In a garden stands a statue of the man who won the warHis expression, tender yearningEvery nation near and farOh, sad and ancient father, sweet as honey, tough as leatherRunning down the hill on christmas dayI am an apeI stand and waitA masterpieceA hairy beastI move so fastI take a chanceAnd come up closeI'm not a ghostNavigator, when you wake up and you step outside your doorShoes and panties, washed and foldedTaking off your dirty clothesThis garden tells a story, amber close-up, faded gloryRunning through the streets on christmas dayI am an apeI stand and waitA masterpieceA hairy beastTry not to laughJust take a chanceI visited inside your headIf you trespass in this garden to a place you should not goIf you step out from the shadows, see the city fall in aweI am an apeI stand and waitA masterpieceA hairy beastNo need to hideCome on insideI will not lastI too shall pass
