Monkey Biology

Words and Music by Pippa Andrew

Dry grains of sand
pouring through my fingers
building our sandcastle
fastest's the winner
giggling uncontrollably
at our silly remarks
didn't even think to wet
the sand at the start

and in my mind I'll always be there
and in my mind I'll always be there

Skinny and pretty
like a model, you said
clinging sex eyes coming
followed by tea and fruit bread
spinning me those mexico blues
crazy jazz numbers all morning long
sinking dreams aching
never land embracing

and in my mind I'll always be there
and in my mind I'll always be there

'Cause we've got monkey biology
just a fact of life
the imprinting was done
on that very first night
we got monkey biology
what we gonna do?
All my days
I think of you

The stars aligned
as a butterfly fluttered
knocked all those dominoes down
sparked the catalytic converter
well you know it spread like wild fire
no god could predict
the chain gang reaction
we met with that day

and in my mind I'll always be there
and in my mind I'll always be there

'Cause we've got monkey biology
just a fact of life
time slows down
in a moment of flight
guess I've got monkey biology
what should I do?
tell me, what should I do?
Alone, alone, and
thinking of you
