At the end of the day
Who are we to say?
In the kingdom of sleep
There lies no jungle beat
We float into a prehuman realm
Conquered by chimpanzees
On trees and on ground and sing
In my dreams
Gorillas sing me to sleep
Am I a human being?
Or a silly ape beast?
They came to me
In a dream last night
A hundred foot gorillas
Filled me with fright
Before I let out
A ghostly gasp
The dream gorillas had me
In their grasp and sang
In my dreams
Gorillas sing me to sleep
Am I a human being?
Or a silly ape beast?
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I don't know
Just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I don't know
Why must they stare at me
And judge me for my crimes
I cannot escape my fate
Reserve it for a later time
Why? Why? Why?
Oh Why?
Must gorillas occupy my mind?
