Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were dressed up at the ball, they expected us to fall
From the heavens, it's number seven
They were monkeys, all of them, entertainin' summer's day
Wonderin' whether it's all or never
[Verse 2]
Strap into the monkey seat, like a Martian chimpanzee
Love you more than ever when you broke my nose
[Verse 3]
You're holdin' on but lettin' go, I'm missing Cleveland and the snow
And lonely bars where everybody knows the truth and lets it be
Well, I'm a dreamer, you don't care
At least it seems so when you're there
But leavin' Earth is sometimes lonely when your feet are on the ground
[Verse 4]
There was you and there was me, like the perfect family
I thought we'd always live forever
So one and one and one makes three, and it changed the recipe
Then I forgot it, truly toxic
[Verse 5]
Strap into the monkey seat, like a Martian chimpanzee
Love you more than ever when you broke my nose
[Verse 6]
You're holdin' on but lettin' go, I'm missing Cleveland and the snow
And lonely bars where everybody knows the truth and lets it be
Well, I'm a dreamer, you don't care
At least it seems so when you're there
But leavin' Earth is sometimes lonely when your feet are on the ground
[Verse 7]
Once again, I live alone
Now I'm older
Never meant to let you know
Yeah
[Verse 8]
You're holdin' on but lettin' go, I'm missing Cleveland and the snow
And lonely bars where everybody knows the truth and lets it be
Well, I'm a dreamer, you don't care
At least it seems so when you're there
But leavin' Earth is sometimes lonely when your feet are on the ground
