Letra
[Verse 1]
Blood on the TV, ten o'clock news
Souls are invaded, heart in a groove
Beatin' and beatin', so out of time
What's the mad matter with the church chimes?
Here comes a stranger up on 9th Avenue
Leanin' green tower, indiscreet view
Over the cloud, over the bridge
Sensitive muscle, sensitive ridge
Of my
[Verse 2]
Space monkey
Sign of the time, time
Space monkey
So out of line, line
Space monkey
Sort of divine
And he's mine
Mine
All mine
[Verse 3]
Pierre Clementi, snot full of cocaine
The sexual streets, why it's all so insane
Humans are running
Lavender room
Hoverin' liquid
Move over, moon
For my
[Verse 4]
Space monkey
Sign of the time, time
Space monkey
Sort of divine, vine
Space monkey
So out of line
And he's mine
Mine
Oh, he's mine
[Verse 5]
A stranger comes up to him
Hands him an old, rusty Polaroid
It starts crumblin' in his hands
He says, "Oh man, I don't get the picture
This is no picture
This is just
This just, this just, this just, a
This is my jack knife
This is my jack knife
This is my jack knife
This is my jack, whoa"
[Verse 6]
Rude excavation, landin' site
Boy hesitatin', jack knife
He rips his leg open, so out of time
Blood and light runnin', it's all like a dream
Light of my life, he's dressed in flame
It's all so predestined
It's all such a game
For my
[Verse 7]
Space monkey
Sign of the time, time
Space monkey
Sort of divine, vine
Space monkey
So out of line
And it's all just space
Just space
[Verse 8]
There he is
Up in a tree
Oh, I hear him callin' down to me
That banana-shaped object
Ain't no banana
It's a bright yellow UFO
And he's comin' to get me
Here I go
Up, up, up
Up, up, up
Up, up, up, up, up
Goodbye mama, I'll never do dishes again
Here I go, from my body
