We are just the monkeys who fell out of the trees   We are blisters on the earth   And we are not the flowers   We're the strangling weeds in the meadow      And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves   When we don't want to live alone   So step into the vacuum   Tear off your clothes and be born again      Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone   Just animal reflexes, no one looking on   Forget about the fashion, forget about the law   Pretend that you're alone now      I wonder what I'd do   If I could wake up every morning with a clean slate   I'd burn through the cities and tear through the towns   'Cause there's no deals to make      So break out of the cages   The delicate structures we cling to all our lives   'Cause we're just the monkeys who fell out of the trees   When we were trying to fly      Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone   Just primal desire, no right and no wrong   Forget about the future, forget about blame   Pretend that you're alone now   Pretend that you're alone now      She's not waiting for tomorrow   And she has no love in her eyes   Oh no, I wanna come down right now   But although I wanna get out right now, ooh      Pretend that you're alone now and everything's gone   Just animal reflexes, there's no one looking on   Forget about religion, forget about shame   Pretend that you're alone now      No numbers in your phone now, there's nothing going on   Just primal desire, no right and no wrong   Forget about fashion, forget about fame   Pretend that you're alone now   Pretend that you're alone now   Pretend that you're alone now
