hey little monkey
don't scratch at the paint
i don't believe
a word that you say
i am a julep
once pink now blue
this frame is perfect
so clearly
i see you
monkey
i always loved the mermaid
arching her back
breathless she dives
into the glass
you broke her wishbone
don't try to cry
this light is perfect
so clearly
i see you
monkey
in this my painting
you cannot sing
see i'm not a groupie
i loved the mermaid
in this my painting
you cannot sing
see i'm not a groupie
i loved the mermaid
i loved the mermaid
i loved the mermaid
empire state
i didn't say thank you
now the whole world
has gone up in smoke
i pretend to
be without flaw
and now you know
please don't be surprised
there is more
than one ring in a tree
guess i win the prize
i am human
to you
finally
i scream
i am sorry
empire state is towering
and it's too late
the empire state's always
going to be
bigger than me
we were made for
something
something big
a life of crime or
a life of
heroics
i scream
i am sorry
empire state is
towering
and it's too late
the empire state's always
going to be
bigger than me
sometimes i
get it right
sometimes
i am a big dope
it's hard to know
till the whole world
till the whole world
till the whole world
goes up in smoke
