We both know it's your game and I'm just playing along I'll just be your monkey and be made to believe I'm paranoid Cuz that's easier for me than to believe what I have seen So ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ooh-ooh-ah-ah when I ask for you and You don't condescend to respond The rules of the game change But the banana stays in the cage You can squeeze your hand between the bars But you can't have your hand back When one you love has grown tired in such a substantial way Too bad we're each no more strong than we are And there's just nothing to say But if you really insist on squashing me like a bug Couldn't you be merciful and just stomp on me instead of This prolonged smear My 8 mangled legs kick and twist My 5 dozen eyes reflect back on themselves But insects don't eat bananas
