The Great Apes

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
She's a box car rollin' byLike a black star in the skyShe's a failure once or twiceLike a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy iceFlowers fly when we grow oldSnakes get high, or so I'm toldShe's an eagle out on the roadLike my favorite Beatle everyone bought and soldAll of my love and half my kissesSuperstar don't do the dishesI just want the great apes to be freeCome on now, you lazy cowboyHeads or tails, but not right now, boyI just want the great apes to be freeShe's a rain bird on the prowlLike an urge to be yourself that you won't allowShe's a forest that we burnedJust a blueprint for a life that we had never learnedFlowers fly when we grow oldSnakes get high, or so I'm toldShe's a lynch mob on the streetTake another step and I will kill the beatAll of my love and half my kissesSuperstar don't do the dishesI just want the great apes to be freeCome on now, you lazy cowboyHeads or tails, but not right now, boyI just want the great apes to be freeShe's a bus stop, glockenspielShe's a simulation life that you thought was realShe's an image that we blurredIt's a pixelated panther, now let it purrAll of my love and half my kissesSuperstar don't do the dishesI just want the great apes to be freeCome on now, you lazy cowboyHeads or tails, but not right now, boyI just want the great apes to be freeI just want the great apes to be freeI just want the great apes to be free
