Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The monkey's organ grinder
Isn't grinding anymore
And I can't shake the feeling
That I've seen this dream before
Fucking up and then falling down
But it punts me to the door
And I can't see the ceiling
'Cause I'm face down on the floor
[Refrain]
Tears are what you want
Tears are what you've got
[Instrumental]
There must be an answer
To the question I don't know
It's too close to midnight
And there has to be no show
Breaking up and then falling down
And my heart beats much too slow
Best notify the other brother
There's no place to go
[Refrain]
Tears are what you want
Tears are what you've got
[Instrumental]
Vegetable, mineral
Animal, I don't know
What you want, what you need
I've become recently deceased
[Instrumental]
A recently deceased
A recently deceased
A recently deceased
A House of Blues blue
A cocaine and disabled
[Outro]
