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 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, 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 are 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 want to come down right now
Pull over, I want to get out right now

Pretend that you´re alone now and everything´s gone
Just animal reflexes, 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
