[Verse 1]
I shake my head and shiver
They smile and they stab my back as they shake my hand
Send out an SOS plea
Come quickly, I'm marooned in Monkeyland
[Refrain]
Is there anyone there
Who understands me?
Anyone at all?
[Verse 2]
I'm idly staring at the sky
Did anybody hear me sigh?
A million stars are a moving sight
To all you out there hearing me tonight
[Chorus]
It's just a trick of the light
Yeah, it's just a trick of the light
I have to know what is real
And what is illusion
Oh, how does it feel
Beyond this confusion?
[Refrain]
Is there anyone there?
I shake my head and shiver
They smile and they stab my back as they shake my hand
Send out an SOS plea
Come quickly, I'm marooned in Monkeyland
[Refrain]
Is there anyone there
Who understands me?
Anyone at all?
[Verse 2]
I'm idly staring at the sky
Did anybody hear me sigh?
A million stars are a moving sight
To all you out there hearing me tonight
[Chorus]
It's just a trick of the light
Yeah, it's just a trick of the light
I have to know what is real
And what is illusion
Oh, how does it feel
Beyond this confusion?
[Refrain]
Is there anyone there?
