Monkey Trap

Monkey Trap 

He wakes up in the middle of the night 
She wakes up in the middle of a dream 
He sleepwalks through his afternoons 
She girltalks about why nothing's what it seems 

They don't know what they believe 
They share life's little mysteries 
They've got it all but all of it's black 
They've got their hands inside 

The monkey trap 

He wakes up in the middle of his life 
She wakes up in the middle of a scream 
He wonders how did I get here anyway 
She's like a ragdoll ripping at the seams 

And they don't know what they believe 
They share love's little mysteries 
They sleep together back to back 
They've got their hands inside 

The monkey trap 

It's too bad they've got their hands so full 
They can't pull back and they won't let go 
The monkey trap
