See the monkey peel the onion
|
See the monkey cry
|
He can feel his tears are flowin'
|
But he don't know why
|
|
He continues peeling faster
|
'Til the onion is no more
|
Now at last his cryin's over
|
But all he had is gone
|
Whatever for
|
|
You and I are always chasing
|
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
|
As we run in all directions
|
Nothing's quite the joy it seems
|
|
If I tell you that I love you
|
Don't ask how much
|
And don't ask why
|
Have no doubt and ask no questions
|
Just believe it's not a lie
|
|
Never take my love for granted
|
But never put it to the test
|
Like the monkey and his onion
|
Too much investigation
|
You know the rest
|
|
You and I are always chasing
|
Wild ambitions and far off dreams
|
As we run in all directions
|
Nothing's quite the joy it seems
|
|
On that we could be contented
|
With the good things that we've gained
|
But in the end we're empty handed
|
Just because we need the world explained
|
