Lab Monkey (track 06 from The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here LP by Alice in Chains )
Is there anybody out there?
Anyone at all?
Can you finally hear this deep?
I’ve been scratching through the wall
You came far to find me, down a rabbit’s hole
Now watch me smiling back while chewing on its skull
I know and won’t forget
We limped away from the wreck
Is the monkey breathing?
It’s looking kind of sick
You got a witty comment for me? Have yourself a kick
Does it make you feel good?
Are you full, and strong?
You’re gonna end up in this cage and I hope your stay is long
I know and won’t forget
We limped away from the wreck
We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came, before this dies
We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came before
I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to stick my hide
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry
I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to blind my eyes
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry
I know and won’t forget
We limped away from the wreck
We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came, before this dies
We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came before
I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to stick my hide
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry
I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to blind my eyes
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry
