MONSTER MAGNET
"Leaping Lizards"

Keep those leaping lizards off my back
Right off my back
'Cos they're blocking off the highway to the sun
And it's my sun
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah

There's a shining monkey standing in the light
Right in the light
And he scratches at my window every night
Most every night
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah

Well I'll tell you what I want now if it's not too much to ask
It's the jewel inside the wound inside your soul
Well I made my bid for diamonds cos it's what I'm s'posed to do
But I think I'm much more comfortable with gold

Keep those leaping lizards off my back
Right off my back
There's a valley in my head that's calling me
And it's all green
But I haven't earned the beauty and know it's way too good for me
And I'll do my best to twist it if I must
So I'll take another mission and I'll strafe another town
And I'll watch my little valley turn to dust
