lyrics

MONKEY RIDE. Words & music Lea Cameron.

Take a step inside join the monkey on his ride
See the monkey spin watch him go around again

I know how to read in between lines
Know all the dangers and warning signs
But I can't read minds
so why would I Know what to say?

I know vigilance can be so taxing but
I never know when you're acting.
Call me lazy but I feel like relaxing
Just for today.

I know I can be strong.
I can't remember just what I've done wrong.
When I think the worst I feel bad
And I say if you say so.

I've got words that can be cold as ice
Verbs and phrases like thorns and spikes
But to you I'm so nice
So I don't understand your dismay.
Never wanted to see where I'd end up.
I'm not the storm in your teacup
But that's not for me to say
And there's no price that you have to pay.

I know I can be wrong.
I can't remember just how to be strong
When I think of bad I feel worse
And I say if you say so.

Never thought I'd have to second guess you.
Your honesty's a scapular that will not protect you.
The moral code, a safety catch, your right to feel better.
I say you are unreasonable
You say I am threatened.
The threat we listen for when we hear' I love you.'
I never asked any such thing of you.
I say, if you say so.
I say, if you say so.
