作词 : Polly Jean Harvey 作曲 : Polly Jean Harvey A restlessness took hold my brain And questions I could not hold back An orange monkey on a chain
On a bleak uneven track
Told me that to understand You must travel back time I took a plane to a forein land And said I'll write down what I find
Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves
Cloacked with snow and shadows sheer
Plates tipped up upon themselves The pain of fifty million years And mules and goats were running wild A happy chaos carried on And old men and young boys smiled And worked until the day was gone
Packs of sandy-coloured dogs Walked streets that looked like building sites
But piles of rocks and dust and smog Could not hold block out a different light When I returned I ran to meet The monkey but his face had changed He stood before me on two feet The track was now a motorway
