lyrics

The legend of the hominoid/ Plagued the primatologist
So he headed out into the field/ To find out if he did exist
He’d heard tales of an elusive ape/ Half-man, half beastly innocence
A creature in its animal state/ A man in sheer intelligence
Deep within the trees he spied him there/ The beast he’d waited long to find
The sight it gave him quite a scare/ But something told him that he could not hide
The eyes-- they seemed to say “I know you well/ And I get the feeling that you know me too
And it’s eerie but I cannot tell/ Just who’s speaking--me or you?”
The beast he said “I am alone/ For I’m the last one of my kind
And I feel as if I can’t go on/ The soul is scarce and hard to find”
The doctor now had lost his fear/ And so tried to alleviate (the pain):
“I’ll bring you food and girls right here/ So you may recharge and procreate.”
The beast he said “That sounds like fun/ And that’d really make me feel alive,
But I really need to find The One/ ‘Cause it takes more than that to survive”
The doctor finally understood / The thing that bound them and all things
He’d try to find her if he could/ For he knew the pain of heartache stings
“Fare thee well now you must go”/ Said the beast from somewhere in the night
“And when you find her I will know/ I’ll be hiding right here in plain sight”
