Monkey world

[Verse 1]
Gold on your wrist, keys to the gate
A glass-front house and a plate too late
You check your reflection, straighten your tie
Then chase the same little prize as I

[Pre-Chorus]
We stack our treasures, mark our ground
But hear that old call all around

[Chorus]
Monkey world, monkey world
Silk and silver, flags unfurled
Every king and every girl
Still swinging through a monkey world
Tall stone towers, avenues
Concrete jungle, crowded zoo
Dress it up, the truth stays curled:
We’re all living in a monkey world

[Verse 2]
You buy the view from the highest floor
I want the thing you were reaching for
We draw our borders, we guard our names
Then laugh and scramble for scraps the same

[Pre-Chorus]
We build our ladders to the sky
And climb because the others try

[Chorus]
Monkey world, monkey world
Silk and silver, flags unfurled
Every king and every girl
Still swinging through a monkey world
Tall stone towers, avenues
Concrete jungle, crowded zoo
Dress it up, the truth stays curled:
We’re all living in a monkey world

[Bridge]
Take off the diamonds, open the door
We’re not so different than before
One nervous heartbeat, one hungry stare
A little more room, a little more care

[Instrumental Hook]

[Final Chorus]
Monkey world, monkey world
Silk and silver, flags unfurled
Every king and every girl
Still swinging through a monkey world
Tall stone towers, avenues
Concrete jungle, crowded zoo
Dress it up, the truth stays curled:
We’re all living in a monkey world

[Outro]
All of us, beneath the suits
All of us, still chasing fruit
Monkey world
