Pretend That You're Alone

We're just the monkeys who fell out of the trees We are blisters on the earth And we are not the flowers We're the strangling weeds in the meadow And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves When we don't want to live alone So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes And be born again Pretend that you're alone now And everything's gone Just animal reflexes no one looking on Forget about fashion Forget about the law Pretend that you're alone now I wonder what I'd do if I could wake up Every morning with a clean slate I'd burn through the cities And tear through the towns 'Cause there's no deals to make So break out of the cages The delicate structures we cling to all our lives 'Cause we are just the monkeys who fell out of the trees When we were trying to fly Pretend that you're alone now And everything's gone Just primal desire, no right and no wrong Forget about the future Forget about blame Pretend that you're alone now Pretend that you're alone now She's not waiting for tomorrow And she has no love in her eyes Oh, no, I want to come down right now Pull over, I wanna get out right now Pretend that you're alone now And everything's gone Just animal reflexes, no one looking on Forget about religion Forget about shame Pretend that you're alone now No numbers in your phone now There's nothing going on Just primal desire, no right and no wrong Forget about fashion Forget about fame Pretend that you're alone now Pretend that you're alone now Pretend that you're alone now
