I dreamt I
met an angel
While walking
down a road
He looked so
wise and youthful and so old
I tried to
ask a question
He eyed me
carefully
Was this old
man an angel or was it me?
When I awoke
next morning
I found my
pillow was gone
That is an old joke's punch line
That I found
on my lawn.
Welcome to
the monkey house
Welcome to
the monkey house
Welcome to
the monkey house
I can hear the angel say
It doesn't
make sense in any way
Last night
I met an angel
While dreaming
in my bed
I can't forget
the scope of what he said
Told me there's
no such thing as
Pi or three
point one four
He let me ask
one question, no more
I asked him
what he thought of
The planet's
human race
"Here's how to greet the aliens
Coming in from
outer space
Welcome to
the monkey house
Welcome to
the monkey house
Welcome to
the monkey house
He said all the angels know
We've got a long, long ways to go
