Lyrics by Floyd Kellogg
Because I want to be a Spider Monkey.
You and me away from home for awhile.
We’ll take the day, go to the sea,
swim with the fish and have fun for a while.
Surfin' the world,
looking for a place to stand,
catchin' some good waves,
playin' in a rock and roll band.
There’s a place
I want to be tonite
when the hammer drops
and the girls stop and say.
Where are the good times?
You’re makin' me sorry.
What happened to the days
when you’d come over and bring a 40?
I know the shit’s broken,
caught up in the moment,
I don’t want to hear you talk, your mouth,
as you go yadda-yadda-yadda away.
You hear the bass go boom,
you hear the hip-hop you move.
There’s an order from the back
to the girl up front with her hair tied back.
Nobody stop the groove
of all the people on the move.
Let the quiet boy be alone for a while
and we’ll let the issue lie for now.
I’m coming,
I’ll be right there.
I’m leaving today in a
rusty old time machine
is takin' me to a time
where I don’t have to work
I can still get high.
Caught in an endless summer
oh wishing these days would last forever.
You hear the bass go boom,
you hear the hip-hop you move.
There’s an order from the back
to the girl up front with her hair tied back.
Nobody stop the groove
of all the people on the move.
Let the quiet boy be alone for a while
and we’ll let the issue lie for now.
