Flash Gordon's Ape - Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band

You jumped when the air hit your eyes

You wanted to go back but there wadn’t none

Now you been going back for so long

That you think there is one

It makes me laugh to hear you say how far you’ve come

When you barely know how to use your thumb

So you know how to count to one

You messed in the sky picked a banana an' threw it

At the sun

You saw a flash in the water now there ain’t one

You brought back somethin' that wasn’t there

You brought back somethin' that wasn’t fair

Pull back the adhesive tape

You’re in ah scrape

Take to to your trees

There’s no escape

The leaves are gettin' faker everyday

Flash Gordon’s ape

Your too day
