Leave Me With the Monkeys - Sophie Hunger

Upstairs they have begun to sweep

The floors and night begins to speak of

Possibilities

Silence, promises

Cities full of story lines

Do I have to sing those rhymes

Possibilities

Broken promises

Take away your easy jokes

And leave me with the monkeys

I know every place to go but

Will not go for pennies

Talk to me on every screen

Someone’s always calling me

Is this a movie scene

A moving movie scene?

My back is turned against the car

I drop my keys and kiss the floor

Countless are the roads from here

But my heart is nowhere

Take away your easy jokes

And leave me with the monkeys

I know every place to go but

Will not go for pennies

My heart

My heart

My heart

Is nowhere

Is nowhere

Is nowhere

Is nowhere
