The High Monkey-Monk Lyrics

Lost army
Aren't you glad we had enough too?
Lost army
Prisoner in the ends of the sea
It goes on
You don’t understand or see me
It goes on
You don't move
दो दो दो दो दो

La vida
Slaughtered, lying in half now
La vida
Soldiers
Are you done now facing things?
Generals
Are you done?
Move
दो दो दो दो दो

बा बा (billy बा)
बा बा दो (बा बा बा)
बा बा (billy बा)
बा बा दो (बा बा बा)
बा बा (billy बा)
बा बा दो (बा बा बा)
बा बा (billy बा)
बा बा दो (बा बा बा)

Lost army (passing, yelling, passing by me)
Just love
It’s love we seek
Lost army (passing, yelling, passing by me)
It goes on
You don’t understand or see me
It goes on
You don't move
दो दो दो दो दो

Lost army
We love
We love
We love too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Thank you for supplying these lyrics. I've been looking for them for years. Aparently they were originally removed by the owners, (I guess I can see why) but they are beautiful. However, I always find the unworded interpretation that sits in my imagination, away from the constraints of meaning more fulfilling when it comes to Frazer's voice. I'll forget in time so no trouble. It will return to being ineffably beautiful soon enough.
