lyrics

little monkey in my eyes
floatin in formaldehyde
inside the tent where you & I
are lovely

lovely in the amber skies
foamy water in my eyes
eyes full of formaldehyde
I'm floating

while he's sinking
into the tar
he's trapped in a jar
I wish I could save him
but he's
not alive anymore
he's flesh & formaldehyde
& the spectators come from near & far
he's trapped in a jar
I wish I could save him
but he's
not alive anymore
he's bones & formaldehyde

trippy clown all shook & scared
shudderin in the midnight air
he's laughin at the sky
the sky is crying

crying siamese boys stumble
the crowd can barely make a mumble
the crowd is sound & teeth
& I am flying

little monkey in my heart
& although we are worlds apart
he's always on my mind
& he is shouting

Little Monkey Named Void, he's cradled inside
he's tryin to fly
& I am here for him & he'd
never felt so alive
he's life & he's life & he's life

he got stole by some hoodlum, through circus she roams
she'll give him a home
& I will not be there & soon
he won't be so alone
he's flesh & he's bone & he's bone & he's bone

elephants wrapped in rapture alive
sweet baby, please unfold inside
the gods are all in line
the void is smiling

falling deep in chasm so wide
swirling round in space & time
I'm trying to meet you there
oh god I'm trying

teeth & sound & ash & eyes
floating light in sable skies
crashing all in time tonight
together

mama hold your boy so tight
baptize him in formaldehyde
love him, We are All the Light
Forever

& I know
mama loves her boy
sweet little void
but god he ain't movin
I wish
I could hold him in joy
it's all that I all that I want

& he's sinking into the stars
he's fucked in his heart
& I am not with him

come, boy
open your arms
open your arms to me
