Fleas and ticks jump everywhere
'Cause of original sin
Down the hill fell Jack and Jill
And you came tumbling after
'Cause of original sin
Rip away the tears
Drink a hope to happy years
And you may find
A lifetime's passed you by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
I was there when the bear
Are his head, thought it was a candy
Everyone goes in the end
Knock knock on the door
Who's it for, there's nobody in here
Look in the mirror my friend
I don't understand at best
And cannot speak for all the rest
In the morning rise
A lifetime's passed me by
What would you say
Don't drop the big one
If you a monkey on a string
Don't cut my lifeline
If you a doggie on a chain
Don't bite the mailman
What would you say
Every dog has its day every day has its way
Of being forgotten -
Mom it's my birthday
What would you say
THIS SONG AND THIS ALBUM REMIND ME OF SANTA FE SUMMER 1995

This song is all about summer in Santa Fe. Fun times. We saw them play live that summer. I loved the show. Magical times. Too bad the music doesn't hold up. I listen to this now and feel nothing. It's pointless. Meaningless really. Sad
Yep, I remember when these guys were the hottest thing around
This album had some great songs, including this one
Proudest Monkey & Satellite were other favorites
Then their second album came out and that was good too, and this was promising
Then I remember going to the store and buying their third album the day it came out
Cause I was hanging with a beautiful red headed lass that was really into them
Took the album home and it was that day that I realized all of their music sounded the same
Couple good songs, but that's about it
Saw them in concert at Red Rocks on that tour and it rained the entire show
Sometimes a concert in the rain is special and awesome, and it's just what the show needed
That was not one of those shows
'Crash Into Me' is probably my favorite, but I enjoyed this song too
I never realized how dark the lyrics are at times
Which is funny, because this song brings back happy memories
Yes, while they were not by any means a flash in the pan, their music did become a little repetitive. Really, though, there are very few artists with any staying power who do not sound pretty much the same. The ones who last for years and years and years reinvent themselves. Like Brittney Speers, and Justin Bieber.
