Pretend That You’re Alone (Demo) Keane

We are 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, 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 want to get out right now
