Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Space monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
Shooting the moon, playing Dominoes in drag
An increase in population of a hundred percent
[Verse 2]
Space monkey in the place to be
With a chemical peel and a picture of Mary
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees
[Chorus]
We're sewn together
She's born to Mesmer
Beside, astride her
I die inside her
[Verse 3]
Space monkey in the place to be
A mass of contradictions in a golden frame
Raising the roof in a calamity way
Completely meretricious of a poke in the eye
[Verse 4]
Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Colombian rock
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees
[Chorus]
We're sewn together
She's born to Mesmer
Beside, astride her
I die inside her
[Chorus]
It's far too sacred
Don't ever fake it
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down
[Chorus]
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
[Verse 5]
Space monkey in the place to be
With some free-association and a hole in her head
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees
[Chorus]
We're sewn together
She's born to Mesmer
Beside, astride her
I die inside her
[Chorus]
It's far too sacred
Don't ever fake it
And don't, and don't, and don't let me down
[Outro]
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
