Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band — Flash Gordons Ape

[Verse 1] You jumped when the air hit your eyes You wanted to go back but there wasn't none Now you been going back for so long That you think there is one [Refrain] 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, one [Verse 2] You brought back something That wasn't there You brought back something That wasn't fair Pull back the adhesive tape You're in a scrape Pull back the adhesive tape You're in a scrape Take to your trees There's no escape The leaves are gettin' faker everyday The leaves are gettin' faker everyday Flash Gordon's ape You're too day [Instrumental] [Refrain] 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 [Verse 2] You brought back something That wasn't fair You brought back something That wasn't there Pull back the adhesive tape You're in a scrape Take to your trees There's no escape The leaves are gettin' faker everyday Flash Gordon's ape You're too day Flash Gordon's ape You're too day
