The Great Apes

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 I just want the great apes to be free I just want the great apes to be free
