Pretend That You're Alone

Lyrics

We're 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

Lyrics continue below...

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
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 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 wanna 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
Pretend that you're alone now
