Monkey see
Monkey die
Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
Cos it's squalid and it's solid
And it's completely rancid and beautiful
Like a forcefield of multiplying meat
Cut a hole in the floor to see
Just how close to hell we're standing

Time shoots forward in your skull
Scattered to the four winds
Chucked in the bucket
Riding lampost
Moldy toast
Excitement level zero

Rock the casbah
Bring the noise
Amplified dishwashers
Exploring the boring to the core
People with cordless personalities
Running around in new wave bionic jogging suits

California white boy sound
Rocket-powered and nailed to the ground
New age
Old age
Totally lame
Straight to the middle of the road
Rewind the tape
Play the whole thing backwards
With the sound completely turned off

Monkey see
Monkey die
Laminate your face and paste it up into the sky
Cos it's squalid and it's solid
And it's completely rancid and beautiful
Like a dishrag laying in the street
Uptight beyond belief
Cut a hole into the floor just to see
How close to hell we're standing

Got the travelling vitamin-C blues
Police lady staring at my shoes
Holy ghost
Moldy ghost
Riding lampost
Excitment level zero

Rock the casbah
Bring the noise
Pretentious dimensions exploring the boring to the core
Adults with cordless personalities
Running around in new wave bionic jogging suits
Gimme some of that noise

California white boy sound
Rocket-powered and nailed into the ground
New age
Old age
Completely totally lame
Straight to the middle of the road
Just rewind the tape and play the whole thing backwards
With the sound turned all the way off
