lyrics

Monkey's muse
is off the booze
Now he's found another way
to love and lose
Monkey's muse
has flown away
Now Monkey hasn't got
a goddamn thing to say

Slow down
Quiet now
It was never in your power
anyhow
Slow down
just let it fall
She was never really yours at all

Monkey's muse
long abused
Hiding in the shadows
while he made the news
Now she's gone
She's flown away
See him with his notebook
and his Perrier

Slow down
Quiet now
It was never really you
you knew somehow
Slow down
just let it go
You never wanted anyone to know
