Monkey Suit

from Can of Tears by Mustache and Cleavage

/

about

Her vocal like the comforting breeze in fall over the crops that he planted. He’s rattling down the dirt road in his 91’ Ford pickup. Comin’ home to her. He cried the night his team lost the Big Game, but when it comes to their 23 years of marital bliss, it’s all just one long shot of white noise for him. She still trims back the roses, but why?

lyrics

I’m gone from nine to nine
Have weekends from time to time
Show interest in daily life’s
Like pushing a stone

Stare at the walls and dream
Someday you’ll come back to me
Did you vanish or was it me
Sometimes I can’t recall

Take off this monkey suit
Sit down and talk to you
Bout what we’re gonna do
Without this love

The house is so cold these days
Still winter in early May
So much we didn’t say
The wind took it all




My heart beats so softly now
Doors locked so I can’t get out
You pocket the only key
I’ll never be free

Take off this monkey suit
Sit down and talk to you
Bout what we’re gonna do
Without this love

I come home early
Crack funny and rescue me
Like that scene in that movie
Before all hope is lost

Ever wonder what dreams mean
I remember my dreams
You say they don’t mean anything
They mean everything
Some days I don’t know what to believe
I want to believe
I remember them all

Take off this monkey suit
Sit down and talk to you
Bout what we’re gonna do
Without this love
