I didn't meet you in the jungle
|
Swinging from a tree
|
I sat down at the piano
|
You were playing with me
|
I couldn't believe all the things you could do
|
The apes I've seen were in the zoo
|
|
They say we are unique with this language that we speak
|
But you have proved them wrong
|
Skinner and Chomsky, how could they be so blind
|
With evidence this strong?
|
|
Intelligent life is all around us
|
Intelligent life is all around us
|
|
When you watch King Kong or The Planet of the Apes
|
Upon your video screen
|
When the animals die, tears fill your eye
|
And you question what you've seen
|
|
Intelligent life is all around us
|
Intelligent life is all around us
|
|
Hey, bonobo woman
|
Hey, bonobo man
|
Look in your eyes
|
That's where I come from
|
|
Hey, bonobo woman
|
Hey, bonobo man
|
Talk to me now
|
I am listening
|
|
You can search the internet
|
You can use your video phone
|
To call another friend
|
If we gave you all the tools
|
You can do whatever you want
|
Who knows when this will end
|
|
Intelligent life is all around us
|
|
Hey, bonobo woman
|
Hey, bonobo man
|
Look in your eyes
|
That's where I come from
|
|
Hey, bonobo woman
|
Hey, bonobo man
|
Talk to me now
|
I am listening
|
|
Hey, bonobo woman
|
Hey, bonobo man
|
Look in your eyes
|
That's where we come from
|
|
Hey, bonobo woman
|
Hey, bonobo man
|
Talk to us now
|
We are listening
|
|
Bonobo calling me now x12
|
|
Starting to hear the things you've said
|
Getting to know what's going on in your head
|
There's no humans on the line
|
But there'll be plenty more there in good time
|
Dolphins, cats, and elephants
|
This is not some wild romance
|
Just look in their eyes and say it's not true
|
Look in their eyes, they're checking out you
|

We are in communication with the Animal Nation x20
