The Mountain Goats - The Monkey Song lyrics

Cool air falls through the venetian blinds and The planets in the heavens are perfectly aligned I take in my surroundings I memorize them all The scuff marks on the stone floor, The powder burns on the eastern wall There's a monkey in the basement How did the monkey get there? There's a monkey in the basement Where did the monkey come from? Where did the monkey come from? Where did the monkey come from? The animal noises you used to make The andalusian coral snake All hail when standing beside this room And the heavy hot rains and the sonic boom There's a monkey in the basement Where did the monkey come from? There's a monkey in the basement How did the monkey get there? How did the monkey get there? How did the monkey get there?
