[Verse 1]
Am G F G A restlessness took hold my brain, and questions I could not hold back Am G F G An orange monkey on a chain, on a bleak uneven track Am G F G Told me that to understand, you must travel back in time Am G F G C I took a plane to a foreign land, and said, "I'll write down what I find" Am G Am G Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
[Verse 2]
Am G F G Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves, cloaked with snow and shadows sheer Am G F G Plates tipped up upon themselves, the pain of fifty million years Am G F G And mules and goats were running wild, a happy chaos carried on Am G F G C And old men and the young boys smiled, and worked until the day was gone Am G Am G Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
[Verse 3]
Am G F G The packs of sandy-colored dogs, walked streets that looked like building sites Am G F G But piles of rocks and dust and smog, could not block out a different light Am G F G When I returned I ran to meet, the monkey but his face had changed Am G F G C He stood before me on two feet, the track was now a motorway Am G Am G Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah Am G Am G Ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah
