You were dressed up at the bar They expected us to fall from the heavens It's only seven, they were monkeys all of them Entertainment summer stain Wondering whether, it's now or never Strapped into the monkey scene Like a Martian chimpanzee Love you more than ever When you broke my laws You're holding on but letting go I'm missing Cleveland and the snow And lonely thoughts where everybody Knows the truth and lets it be We'll have a dream and you don't care At least it seems so when you're there What really hurts these sometimes lonely When your feet are on the ground There was you and there was me like the perfect family Thought we'd always live forever One and one and one makes three And in change a glass of pain Glad we got it truly toxic Strapped into the monkey scene Like a Martian chimpanzee Love you more than ever When you broke my laws You're holding on but letting go I'm missing Cleveland and the snow The lonely thoughts where everybody Knows the truth and lets it be We'll have a dream and you don't care At least it seems so when you're there What really hurts these sometimes lonely When your feet are on the ground Once again I am alone, now I'm older Never meant to let you go, no You're holding on but letting go I'm missing Cleveland and the snow The lonely thoughts where everybody Knows the truth and lets it be We'll have a dream and you don't care At least it seems so when you're there What really hurts is sometimes lonely When your feet are on the ground
