Pretend That You're Alone

We're just the monkeys who fell out of the trees

We are blisters on the earth

And we are not the flowers

We're the strangling weeds in the meadow

And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves

When we don't want to live alone

So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes

And be born again

Pretend that you're alone now

And everything's gone

Just animal reflexes no one looking on

Forget about fashion

Forget about the law

Pretend that you're alone now

I wonder what I'd do if I could wake up

Every morning with a clean slate

I'd burn through the cities

And tear through the towns

'Cause there's no deals to make

So break out of the cages

The delicate structures we cling to all our lives

'Cause we are just the monkeys who fell out of the trees

When we were trying to fly

Pretend that you're alone now

And everything's gone

Just primal desire, no right and no wrong

Forget about the future

Forget about blame

Pretend that you're alone now

Pretend that you're alone now

She's not waiting for tomorrow

And she has no love in her eyes

Oh, no, I want to come down right now

Pull over, I wanna get out right now

Pretend that you're alone now

And everything's gone

Just animal reflexes, no one looking on

Forget about religion

Forget about shame

Pretend that you're alone now

No numbers in your phone now

There's nothing going on

Just primal desire, no right and no wrong

Forget about fashion

Forget about fame

Pretend that you're alone now

Pretend that you're alone now

Pretend that you're alone now
