The Great Apes Lyrics
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
She's a box car rollin' by
Like a black star in the sky
She's a failure once or twice
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
Flowers fly when we grow old
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
She's an eagle out on the road
Like my favorite Beatle
Everyone bought and sold
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & All]
All of my love and half my kisses
Superstar don't do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
She's a rain bird on the prowl
Like an urge to be yourself
That you won't allow
She's a forest that we burned
Just a blueprint for a life
That we had never learned
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
Flowers fly when we grow old
Snakes get high, or so I'm told
She's a lynch mob on the street
Take another step and
I will kill the beat
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & All]
All of my love and half my kisses
Superstar don't do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free
[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis]
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel
She's a simulation life
That you thought was real
She's an image that we blurred
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & All]
All of my love and half my kisses
Superstar don't do the dishes
I just want the great apes to be free
Come on now, you lazy cowboy
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy
I just want the great apes to be free
[Outro: Anthony Kiedis]
I just want the great apes to be free
I just want the great apes to be free
