There's a monkey on my back
He's begging for attention
He's scratching at my shoulders
And does so with conviction
But to say so would be monday -cious
Cos I'm far more than two -faced
Son, you're far from in the clear
You've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men malign
This stuff gets under my skin,
finding solace in my membranes
It's agonising to anticipate
I'll end up on my arse again
wonder if she'll do that for me
As figures double, so does trouble
Son, you're far from in the clear
You've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men malign
Take shelter behind the counter
Though losing the will to live
a migrate vessel is a sieve
Dreams of smiles like miles upon cave,
paintings in my nose, whispers in my ear
Son, you're far from in the clear,
you've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men maligned
With neither ice pick nor a guide
You scaled another chance's side
You've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men maligned
Elmo's fire breaks on my fingertips
The snakes vacate the land
And slide into their homes
An air -raid siren breaks the
silent stirring of the calm
And a blind lady in the street cries
As she grips both of your palms
Son, you're far from in the clear
You've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men maligned
With neither aspect nor a guide
The scale and order chances side
You've only just begun to climb
Son, you're far from in the clear
You've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men ma ligned
With neither eyes fixed nor a guide
To scale another chance's side
You've only just begun to climb
This mountain made by men
