Henry Rollins - Another Life lyrics

rate me

You must think you're going to live forever

I listen to the lies as they fall from your face

You must think that you are mighty clever

Can't you find a better way to deal with this place

Watching your life die

We're all watching your life die

Your hands are wet - your mouth is dry

You shake and sweat - you want to die

Your eyes are hot - your skin is cold

You're so young - but you look so old

Lie in bed all day staring at the ceiling

Your friends come around

Because they wonder how you're feeling

You send them all away

Because you can't identify

They don't know you

They're not even high

So high

See the monkey's eyes.

Look deep into the monkey's eyes as he comes to you smiling.

Day after day the monkey's eyes become bigger and bigger.

Soon the monkey's eyes are all you can see.

Soon the monkey's eyes become your eyes.

You feel the monkey's bite.

Monkey see monkey domonkey will destroy you.

If I could make wishes true

I know what I'd wish for you

Another life

Another life for you
