Daniel Johnston - Like A Monkey In A Zoo songtekst
Je score:
I'm chained to the wall. I have nothin' at all. And my eyes look into the sunset Thinkin' of better things to do, Like a monkey in a zoo. The days go so slow. I don't have no friends. Except all these people Who want me to do tricks for them, Like a monkey in a zoo. And it could happen to you. You could be in my place. No it wasn't always like this, But I never saw it comin'. I'm so alone, But this is my home. And the bars that surround me Keep me from knowin' any better, Like a monkey in a zoo. Throw me a peanut. Laugh and make jokes. But I've had enough peanuts And I'm ready to choke, You come to look at me. You seem so amused. But things would look different If you were in my shoes. I know its my fault, But I want out. And when I cry out Nobody seems to understand, Like a monkey in a zoo You say I'm cute. You don't know how much that hurts. You don't know how it feels To live in your own dirt, Like a monkey in a zoo And it could happen to you. You could be in my place. Don't let yourself slip. Don't keep egg on your face. I used to be happy. I cant remember those days. But I sold my freedom For free room and board, Like a monkey in a zoo.
