Intro

When you go on camping trips,
You're stuck right out in nature.  
Foraging the forests like a primate.
Using sharpened tools instead of hot plates.  

Verse 1

Your thumb and forefinger
supposed to show you're not a wild beast.  
You can hear their noises at night time
They don't have to keep a certain bed time.  

Chorus

See in the shapes of my body 
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys  

Verse 2

Sometimes when I lie awake,
I hear the rainfall on my tent fly.  
I think of all the insects that are sleeping,
and wonder if the animals are dreaming.  

Chorus

See in the shapes of my body 
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys  

Bridge

In the days of the caveman,
and mammoths, and glaciers.
Bugs and trees were your food then
no pajamas, or doctors.  

Interlude

| G#m | F# | B | B |

Verse 3

when I finally get to sleep,
I dream in Technicolor.  
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
alive and being fed inside a zoo cage.  

Chorus

See in the shapes of my body 
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys  

Bridge

In the days of the caveman,
and mammoths, and glaciers.
Bugs and trees were your food then
no pajamas, or doctors.  
In the days of the caveman,
and mammoths, and glaciers.
Bugs and trees were your food then
no pajamas, or doctors.  

Ending

| G#m | F# | B
