Pet Monkey Lyrics by Heavenly

Operation Heavenly

1996

[Verse 1: Cathy]
I just can't quite explain
Why it's not the same
With you anymore
It's not that you have changed
Or that we're estranged
I just wanted more
[Verse 2: Cathy, Calvin]
I've always lived my life (Your insanity)
Under watchful eyes (Is not lost on me)
Always someone's girl (Mess around with hearts)
(So easily broke)
You only wanted me (I still can't believe)
As you thought I'd be
Living in your world (It's not all a joke)
[Pre-Chorus: Cathy, Calvin]
What do you know? (I'm)
What do you care? (Scared)
How could you think
Things were okay? (Whatever you say)
How could I know? (I'm)
Behind that stare? (Scared)
You're on the brink
I couldn't stay (You wouldn't stay)
[Chorus: Cathy & Calvin, Cathy, Calvin]
Stop sleeping and start bleeding
I know you're hurt and it's not fair
Stop dreaming and start bleeding
Blood on your shirt and in your hair
It kind of hurts when you're not there
(Here and not, not there)
[Verse 3: Cathy]
And I can't quite explain
Why you act insane
Why you fail to cope
Something inside your brain
Trips a switch again
And you lose all hope
[Verse 4: Cathy, Calvin]
I'm not responsible (Messing around with)
If you lose control (Hands and glass and games of)
If you go too far (Smash and break, I guess I'll)
You try and cut yourself (Have to live with)
But it doesn't help (Cussing out)
It just leaves a scar (All of my mistakes)
[Pre-Chorus: Cathy, Calvin]
What do you know? (I'm)
What do you care? (Scarred)
How could you think
Things were okay? (Whatever you say)
How could I know? (I'm)
Behind that stare? (Scarred)
You're on the brink (Anyway)
I couldn't stay
[Chorus: Cathy & Calvin, Cathy, Calvin]
Stop sleeping and start bleeding
I know you're hurt and it's not fair
Stop dreaming and start bleeding
Blood on your shirt and in your hair
It kind of hurts when you're not there
(Here and not, not there)
Stop dreaming and start screaming
It's so hard trying not to care
Stop breathing and start screaming
But you're too much for me to bear
It kind of hurts when you're not there
(Here and not there)
[Bridge: Cathy, Amelia]
What do you know? (I'm)
What do you care? (Scared)
How could you think
Things were okay? (Whatever you say)
How could I know? (I'm)
Behind that stare? (Scared)
You're on the brink
I couldn't stay (You wouldn't stay)
[Chorus: Amelia, Cathy, Calvin]
Stop dreaming and start screaming
(Your insanity is not lost on me)
It's so hard trying not to care
Stop breathing and start screaming
(I still can't believe you)
But you're too much for me to bear
It kind of hurts when you're not there
(I'm scarred anyway)
