Cover art for Monkey Riches lyrics by Animal Collective

Lately I need a better plan Wanna get my knees out in the dirt; my hands Cause I've been a cerebral spouse And my heads runs deep go in to the emerald house

And I wanna look out, I don't wanna let out And I wanna help out, I don't wanna nod out And I wanna help out, I don't wanna bail out And I wanna look out, I don't wanna nod out

I don't wanna knock you down x8

But why am I still looking for a golden age? Tell me that I ought to have a golden wave Every time I look up at that blurry sun All I think about are bodies floating up Everybody ought to get that special plant Why does darling everybody home with chance Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song Does this not occur to almost everyone?

I make a monkey red I make a monkey rich x7

And lately I wanna be in my heart But where exactly is my heart and where does it start? Don't want that tylenol ??????? I can ? ? little things but I have big plans Don't want that tylenol

So I wanna look out, I don't wanna let out And I wanna help out, I don't wanna nod out And I wanna look out, I don't wanna bail out And I wanna help out, I don't wanna nod out

I don't wanna knock you down x8

But why am I still looking for a golden age? Tell me that I ought to have a golden wave Every time I look up at that blurry sun All I think about are bodies floating up Everybody ought to get that special plant So why does darling everybody home with chance Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song Does this not occur to almost everyone?

I make a monkey rich (till end)

Lyric Correction

*Make a monkey wretch not "red" -least that's what it says on the sleeve of the record I have...

golden wave = golden wage? Make a monkey rich.
