Lyrics
They’re swinging in my head like a jungle vine Ideas jump around They’re never in line Brain monkeys in the trees Making a mess Bananas for thoughts No time to confess Climbing higher Day and Night Chasing a thought Don´t get it right Brain monkeys Swinging all day Stealing my focus Chasing away Brain monkeys They don’t obey How do I think when they’re in my way One’s got a drum Banging in my skull Another’s got a trumpet Blaring so dull They’re dancing in circles A carnival parade I try to write sense But they just invade Chitter chatter Louder louder Mind’s a zoo Losing power Brain monkeys Swinging all day Stealing my focus Chasing away Brain monkeys They don’t obey How do I think when they’re in my way Juggle dreams like circus clowns Some will fall and some will fade Balancing a memory strain Still they run my crooked show And it’s always sold out When I try to sleep They play charades They're digging deep Pierce like blades Following the shade I’m their arcade I built a ladder to climb out high But they’re on my back They’re ready to fly They whisper They shout They sing off-key They’re chaos They’re crazy But they’re still me Chitter chatter Louder louder Does it matter? Louder Louder Mind’s a zoo Losing power Brain monkeys Swinging all day Stealing my focus Chasing away Brain monkeys They don’t obey How do I think when they’re in my way
