[Verse 1]
The curtain is open a head to put dope in
Now we will come clean it the future we've seen it
No, no, I know, I said, no no
It's like a dream that falls away
Into the night where we can play
I'm on a train one happy day
Two eyes for sight three times I pray
Soda pop we've got to set up shop
And when the weather comes we've got a pressure drop
We don't know but every day I go
To see what I can bring into a cameo, oh oh, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
We believe, we believe
[Chorus]
Climb a tree for monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
[Verse 2]
The mission, the method
The downfall arrested
Because it's not the first time
Nor is it the worst time, no no, oh no
To see the bird without a care
For in a word it's nice out there
In a tree my mama bear
Will be all right with proper care
Hey hey, hey
Boomerang into a bigger bang
A little cry of love because they cannot sing
Cherokee, what did the pharaoh see?
Another time and space another place to be
[Pre-Chorus]
We believe, we believe
We believe, we believe
[Chorus]
Climb a tree for monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
Climb a tree for monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
[Outro]
The motive, the measure
The purpose, the pleasure
The risk, is it worth it?
The disc, is it perfect?
I found you amongst them
The flower with young stem
Disparage, the broken
The marriage, eloping
The curtain is open a head to put dope in
Now we will come clean it the future we've seen it
No, no, I know, I said, no no
It's like a dream that falls away
Into the night where we can play
I'm on a train one happy day
Two eyes for sight three times I pray
Soda pop we've got to set up shop
And when the weather comes we've got a pressure drop
We don't know but every day I go
To see what I can bring into a cameo, oh oh, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
We believe, we believe
[Chorus]
Climb a tree for monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
[Verse 2]
The mission, the method
The downfall arrested
Because it's not the first time
Nor is it the worst time, no no, oh no
To see the bird without a care
For in a word it's nice out there
In a tree my mama bear
Will be all right with proper care
Hey hey, hey
Boomerang into a bigger bang
A little cry of love because they cannot sing
Cherokee, what did the pharaoh see?
Another time and space another place to be
[Pre-Chorus]
We believe, we believe
We believe, we believe
[Chorus]
Climb a tree for monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
Climb a tree for monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
[Outro]
The motive, the measure
The purpose, the pleasure
The risk, is it worth it?
The disc, is it perfect?
I found you amongst them
The flower with young stem
Disparage, the broken
The marriage, eloping
