  • To the pool, at least try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're fooling with here

    There will be time and there will be a sign (ape)
    When all the kids who have cancelled time will (ape)
    Take my hands and pull me up again (ape)
    Cheer me up and help me walk again (walk again)

    To the pool, at least try to let it go
    But nobody knows what they're fooling with here

    I got bones, and I got jaded legs (ape)
    Not the type that can win a race (ape)
    Living plastic on a vacant lot (ape)
    Left behind and staring at a robot

    Don't be sad for me (ape)
    I'm a cartoon G (ape)
    And my intent is to breathe (ape) in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    (Ape) breathe
    (Ape) breathe

    I can balance on the highest tree
    You can only see outlines of me
    I can disappear, or lighten your day
    Imitate and say
    I'm a skinny little ape

    Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape)
    I'm a cartoon G (I'm a cartoon G, ape)
    And my intent is to breathe (ape) in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    Don't be sad for me
    I'm a cartoon G
    And my intent is to breathe (ape) in a new world
    Don't be sad for me

    I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape, ape, ape, ape
    Ape, ape, ape, I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little
    Skinny little ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape
    I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape, ape, ape, ape
    Ape, ape, ape, I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little
    Skinny little ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape
    Ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape, ape
