Lyrics
Forty Monkeys Jim Dannemiller Houston, TX March 5, 2011 He tells you one thing Then he does another Ain't that the way of the world You want so much to believe him That you would cast away your only mother Walk away Justine... He brings you flowers Those flowers soon will wilt That's the way it always goes He tells you it's you who killed them You swallow all his dark and faithless guilt ---chorus--- Forty monkeys write his songs He proudly claims those songs his own Though you write from somewhere deep inside He only hears your songs, Justine, as dry and broken bones ---chorus--- You climb up his rain barrel You slide down his slope We all just want to fit in None of this means anything As he tries his best to steal away your hope Walk away Justine... He's a devil to your better angel At the crossroads every night You can see him there under the stars On his knees he calls his demons To keep you at last from your light ---chorus---
