lyrics

TWO MONKEYS IN THE SHADE

take a walk with me
scene: the sunshine
weeds and autumn leaves
your hand in mine
and intertwined
like chutes of wheat in sheaves
through the howling, growling
scowling clouds that we all see
free your mind and time
will cut the lines
of what they call being free

believing here for the first time
making our minds up
pointing at the life parade

sing a song with me
any song, that'll do
i wanna hear you sing
so what, i've heard you
sing the same song every time
it's never lost its ring
or gotten old like the crap songs
cluttering the radio waves
it's like a jubilee
every time you smile
i'd walk a million miles
to hear you sing again to me

standing here for the first time
grinning at the crowd
you know, we got it made
believing here for the first time
making our minds up
two-stepping in the life parade

we're on to something good

do a dance with me
any kind of dance
i just want to feel you're near
every moment
that i can't feel your heartbeat
is like a million years
if the stars explode
or the hills erode
you know, i'll always keep my place
in the hands of you only
in your hands, i am only
just inches from your face

holding still for the first time
looking at the light
we got it like
two monkeys in the shade
believing here for the first time
making up our minds....
